I have a set of sentiment stamps from Picket Fence that I bought a couple years ago. It's like a set of 4 and they are kind of large. I really like them! One of my favorites says, "I FREAKING love you!" in a bold font. I have now told the following people "I FREAKING love you!" - DH
- my mom
- my best friend
- my other best friend
- my DD
- my DS
- my grandpa
- my aunt
- my best friend's mom
I don't know how many more people I can tell that they are freaking loved. And the stamp is so specific, I know these people will notice if I tell them I freaking love them more than once. But maybe that doesn't matter, lol? What do you do with specific sentiment stamps that have made the rounds of all your friends and family that you would send that one to?

As time goes on, you will have more people come into your life, so even if you’ve used it for everyone in your circle as of now, it won’t always be that way, and you’ll get to use it again, at least eventually.
It’s great to have stamps that you love and enjoy using over and over, but it’s also good to change things up a bit.
I don’t like to be repetitive, but I also have plenty of stamps. Using a stamp multiple times for the same individual isn’t likely for me. Also, I often use my computer to print out different phrases. Despite my overly large stamp collection, sometimes I need something different, a phrase or thought that I don’t have as a stamp. I can also choose a cool font when typing my phrase on the computer.
I can’t blame you, though, for wanting to keep using that particular stamp. Sometimes we just find the perfect phrase to express what we feel, and I think that’s okay to use it again. Maybe especially if you can stamp or type the phrase, “I’ve already told you this, but…” before using the same stamp you’ve used before. Repetition adds emphasis.

I suspect some people won't remember or would enjoy receiving multiple reminders of how much you freaking love them, but I think I would get too much in my head to re-use it too many times. I'm guessing you're the same since you have kept a list of the recipients!
I like sentiments that are a bit more generic and/or flexible, but I also make cards mostly for donation or for sale so it's a bit different. I don't know if this sentiment could be reworked with masking or if the other sentiments in the set could be combined with it to make a different message. I like scrapnnana's idea of adding something to it "I can't say it enough" or "have I told you lately that - " but I would probably end up giving away or trading the sentiment after a while.
