Answer

To amp up = to increase/work up. When you are "amping up" something you are increasing the power of it.

To firm up = to strengthen. When you "firm up" something you are strengthening or hardening it.

I hope this helped! Have a good day!

Answer

In spite of the definition as an "informal" word I believe that "amp up" is a corruption of "ramp up".  Both mean increasing power but "ramp" has a mechanical derivation from the simple machine while "amp" comes from "Ampere" the unit for measuring current.
"To firm up" means to solidify and is often used when details need to finalized.  If you are planning a trip then you may need to confirm lodging arrangements such as house swaps.

Answer

Amp = amplifier!  As in, "increase the volume (ie. intensity)."

"To firm up" means "to make firmer/more definite."
