how do you guys rank Kid A so much higher than Amnesiac?

They're obviously pretty similar in my mind. They have comparable numbers of good songs, and I think Amnesiac might even have a slight edge in that regard. But, I think Kid A has two things going for it over Amnesiac:

1) It came out first.

2) As an entire, sequenced album, I think it's structured better. Everything In Its Right Place is a KILLER lead-in, and Morning Bell followed by Motion Picture Soundtrack is a pretty dramatic way to close. Amnesiac doesn't have that seem feeling of flow to me.

Wow, yeah, that pretty much nails it. Amnesiac kinda feels like the outtakes from the Kid A sessions to me. I still think it has some strong tracks though.
