It wouldn't amplify them, there's no energy gain. A gravitational lenses just bends the trajectory of the waves. If you do it right it may be possible to use that to focus the signal on a directional trajectory(as in, the same energy is redirected in a single direction instead of being spread out), if I'm not mistaken.

True, it doesn't amplify, it just focuses. So that's different to the three body problem, in which it wasn't directional as far as I remember.
