Texas Method.
What do you mean by "past rippetoe's?" Rippetoe's usually ends when your squat has stalled twice, and your deadlift once.
make up your own?!?!
When you get to the "intermediate" stage, it's time you figure out your own routine.

You are 6'4" and 160 lbs...keep doing starting strength.

Just about to post this. Passed Rippetoe's?!?! EAT more!
Don't get why you are judging whether someone is past a strength routine based on their weight?
OP, post your lifting stats.

Because a beginner strength program should be building size as well.
He Bench Presses 170 and Deadlifts 150, apparently. He's not done.

It should, but its not the main purpose of the program, and there is no point in staying on the program if the main purpose isn't working for you anymore. He shouldn't stay on rippetoes to build mass if his strength isn't going up, that just seems a bit silly to me.
edit: ok, saw the lifting stats. Yeah he's not done.
Stats: 6'4", 160 lbs
Bench:
170 lb (77.3 kg)
Deadlift:
150 lb (68.2 kg)
No you're not.
One of the purposes of starting strength is to make your proportional, if you bench more than you deadlift, especcially at 6'4, you're not proportional.
