I have a 20AH Bioenno battery that more than adequately powers KX-3 at 10-15W for QRP activations. I've considered 2 options: 1. Geta a higher capacity battery and run both radio and amp from one battery (think the 20AH will do?

A 20Ah LiFePO4 battery will go a long while, especially if you power the 
radio from it's internal battery pack, and especially if you don't CQ a 
lot. One of the KX3's many strengths is that it is very miserly of 
current draw on receive.
