Deadlifts 5x4 - 320lb (145kg)
Full body dips +35lb 5x4
Bench press - 145lb 5x4
Chins +35lb 5x4

I'm trying some other stuff on my off days, but nothing very structured or for too much time.  I don't want to ruin my recovery completely ;)

I'm sticking to the same main routine for a bit longer before I change it all

I would say cleans were a logical next step in to your routine. You might also consider to split your program into two parts, A and B and use the Rippetoe method since you're training 3 times a week and do first week: ABA, nest week:BAB etc.. Doing each lift and exercise 3 times a week might be a little to much.
Another thought, aren't you doing or trying to do handstands / handstand pushups? Isn't the point by doing Tuck Planches to eventually progress into a freestanding handstand? While the Tuck Planches are a great way to develop stabilization the handstand (pushups) against a wall are vital for shoulder strength.

I'll probably move to squats, clean and press, some kind of row and pullups.  I'm just excited to get to 2x body weight deadlifts  ;)
I'm training every 3 days, so only twice most weeks.  If I do any more than that I don't recover enough.

I am doing some gymnastic exercises and this does include some handstand pushup work (currently with legs elevated on the back of the couch).
