Shocktrooper from Complete Warrior provides excelletn synergy. Try to get more size increases, Psychic Warrior and Warmind are great for just that.

The Mauling Gauntlets (MoI) can get you an easy +2 to +12, eventually.

If you've gone that far already, you absolutely have to fit in two or six levels of fighter for dungeoncrashing goodness. It's really fun and quite potent.

As for increasing your bull rush checks, MIC has some great items like armbands of might and a slew of doodads with charges that can give you substantial bonuses. In the Bo9S department, there's a first level Stone Dragon stance that gives a bonus on Str checks.

How high is your Charisma? Take a level in marshal (Miniatures Handbook), get your CHA to STR checks. Also from that book is the Warhulk PrC, +2 STR every level, with requirments not too hard to meet (and I'm pretty sure the Goliaths powerful build allows them to qualify for Prestige classes that have a Large size Requierment [Spelling...not my forte...]). I heard controversy a while back if that book was 3.5 or not, but the things in it are definitely compatible, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Warmind is good (for expansion). Warhulk is bad (+1 to the check per level where warmind gives +2/level with knockback).

Goliaths do not count, even with powerful build. The fun thing to do with them though is to take their racial barbarian levels which grant you a size increase to large and that qualifies you to WarHulk. All together it allows to go "Hulk!"
