Here are a couple of guitar amp miking techniques that I have found very useful over the years.

The problem with miking up an amp is that it sounds very different from the perspective of the player standing above the sound than it does for the microphone right in front of it. So make sure you tilt your amp directly at you head to get the real sound.

Another thing that helps me get a really heavy sound is to actually stay away from too much distortion and find a nice crunch sound. This might sound backward but the more distortion you use the weaker the sound can be.
