An interesting discussion.
Do you see yourself as a powerlifter? If so the weight lifted itself is the goal. Thus, one would always strive for more.
If you lift to improve other things in your life then the question becomes what would improve if you got even stronger?
If the latter is the case then ask yourself what in your life would get better if you lifted more.
I guess you will never need more strength at least in the lifts you have practiced so why not put more attention in learning a new skill, a new sport or just a new hobby. Not to say to abandon lifting altogether but you can use much less energy to maintain roughly 80 percent and once in a while bring it up again.
