How are you doing your power cleans? From hang or from the ground? Since you didn't say "hang power cleans" I assume from the ground.
If you do them from the hanging position, then I found out that it's best to do singles instead of more reps. For me, whenever I do even two reps the amount of fatigue I get in my hands becomes a very limiting factor in actual power expression in the clean itself. The bar starts to feel heavier and heavier every second I stay with it in my hands and the arms start to wander around in bad, weird positions.
So today I did singles (3x1 instead of 1x3) with like 20 seconds or so breaks in between, and all my reps were explosive and powerful. Just something to think about.
