It's funny but the most reliable channel I pick up is KLCS which has a NM of -25.4 dB.

I would have thought your most reliable channels would be from the S and SSE. Why are you messing with LA?

Ok, so I pointed the antenna South and both KFMB and KGTV come in at 85% signal strength no matter if the Amplify preamp is connected at high or low gain or if it's not connected at all.

That sounds good to me.

It seems that the max signal strength of my tuner is 85%.

That's entirely possible. The signal strength indicator is only relative, and will vary from brand to brand, and even within the same brand.
What make and model is the tuner/TV?
In a case like you have where the tuner is Maxed out, I insert a variable attenuator between the power inserter and the tuner to find out how much attenuation can be added before dropout. This is called margin to dropout, and often requires a combination of a variable attenuator and a fixed attenuator.
Here is an example of when I was comparing a Channel Master 7003 tuner with my Sony tuner:
