Unfortunately, no. There is no way of forcing AMOS into AGA
resolutions, without the aid of a hardware de-interlacer. They do exist.
It would require a near complete rewite of AMOS's screen handling code,
which is something nobody wants to do.
If you know a lot about AMOS, or if anyone can get a hold of the
source code for it, then it might be possible. It would requires several
changes in the copperlist (to go AGA), and a couple more to get the
multiscan screen modes (like DblPal, etc). Also, all the drawing routines
would have to be patched to access these weird screen modes, since their
usually interleaved bitmapped, and not planar.
