How to increase amperage?

If it's a short burst of power that needs to be fulfilled, you can add capacitors. But that doesn't do wonders, so you'd probably be disappointed. Maybe there's a solution (well, not likely) but if you don't tell what's the issue and application, nobody can actually help you.
 
They will waste tons

In theory something like that might eventually be a difficulty, but I don't think the power banks have a 4-quadrant regulator that will absorb current to lower the voltage.

For safety one power bank could be connected via a schottky diode. So it will only provide current once the other power bank limits the current and voltage drops by ~0.4 V.

I need it to power my Class D amps + passive speakers.
I want my sound system very loud but powered by power bank.

Power = V^2/R, you have 2 variable here, RMS amplifier output voltage (depend on Supply voltage) and resistance (impedance) of your speaker
the only way to increase power is to increase supply voltage or reducing the load impedance, the current requirement will follow these 2 variables

let make it simple, assuming your amplifier (bridge) can output 5Vpp, the maximum power produced will be 6.25watts peak for a 4 ohm load. and the peak current will be less than 2 Amps

How to increase the smart phone power bank Amps from 2?
As far as I know this is related to the USB standard that for safety does not allow more than 2 A output current (current limiting).
If you need more A don't use a USB device, rather a Li-Ion battery pack used for model cars/planes or power tools.
(Or parallel power banks as I suggested previously)
