Personally if I was you, I'd pick a main lift like squats,bench,deads and MPs to start a day and focus on keeping track of adding weight or reps across sets. If you can continually progress these lifts for long stretches, you've strengthened your whole body. Once your main work on those is completed, do what you've been doing now for the rest of the workout. It would be the best of both worlds for what seems like you like doing and for what you should be doing.
I'll actually do something like this, but only for about a month or so. I don't go beyond that in terms of attempting to build up one specific exercise.

In fact, I usually end my workout with the power movements versus start with them, concentrating on form more than strength. Pause reps, variances in the width of the grip, etc.
