The counter measure we have against amplification is the initial congestion window.  We won't send more than that.  That's higher than the x3 we have during the handshake, but I think that's a reasonable balance, considering that the attacker in this context has to spend a considerable amount of effort.

Yes, this is a policy question, but I'm happy with it.  (Though we should probably highlight this when asking for review.)
