- 1 more for every 20k Club miles above 120k within the membership year (would only matter for requalification - because for first-time qualification you won't get to do this)
I think this is a very good idea, I'm in a similar position to you that I have a ton of miles early in my qualifying year, and so I switch as much as possible to other airlines (I have been giving everything else to Star carriers boosting my UA account, but given what you and a few others do I'm also going to start banking miles to AA when I fly CX). There is no incentive to fly CX over the 120k mark.
