While layering the tracks, mix it up a little. Begin with a much cleaner/punchy sound than you would normally use for the part. Once you have a couple passes of that down, go back to the drawing board and get a different sound with more "glue" and a bit more edge. Once you've done that, begin layering the more distorted tracks, combining everything and varying the pans slightly will give you alot of thickness, punch and width without the pitfalls of layering the same sound over and over.
For a part like this, I'll "usually" double track 3 different amp sounds and combine them (sometimes different amp/mic/etc-you know the drill) for a total of 6 tracks. Depending on the song and/or arrangement, you can vary the panning of these slightly with the cleaner ones closer in and distorted ones slightly out. Experiment with some ER's, slight delay or room to give the tracks depth from each other.
