Low weights and high reps might be good for tone and endurance, but you will never build size.
I used to rep 135lbs 10x for 10 sets, for a total weight lifted of 13,500lbs.
I now rep 245lbs 5x for 5 sets, total of 6,125lbs.
I am twice the size now I was then, and I still eat the same amount.
I am seething jealous. My workout is above, some of my lifts are heavier than yours.
I eat more, workout religiously, and I barely added an inch to my shoulders.
I'm stronger though...
245x5x5 is my bench, but you are actually doing more than me on squats and deadlifts.
Hmmm. Since you are DL 335x5x3 I have no idea how you are not huge. If you're eating enough, that is.
I DL 225x5, 275x5 and 315x5 2-3 times per week and only squat once per week at 255x5x5. They all say to squat during every workout, but I get much more benefit from DL 2-3 times per week and squat once.
Press isn't a major part of my regimen, but I try to do 125 or 135x5x5 at least once a week. Keeps the shoulders strong.
When you mention eating more, what kind of diet are we talking about?
