Getting !BIG! Guitar Sounds with limited stems

Hey everyone - I'm currently in the process of mixing an EP for a local band, they're great musicians but sent me very limited takes of their guitars. I've got two rhythms & one lead to work with. To get a big "wall of sound" I'm trying a few different methods - copy/pasting from second chorus take to layer onto first chorus, etc. but I'm wondering... Do you have any go-to tricks to "thicken" guitars or build bigger stacks with limited takes?

Trying to avoid phasing issues & also stay true to the artistic vision, but I'd love a bigger sound.
