Looking really good... it's definitely in the ~36-40 range.

When I think of you as a glittery eyed old wife telling stores of yore, a lot of things fall into place lol.
So I get that you NEVER got tonsilitis from cold water?

You shouldn't really care about your squat performance at this point - as long as the jumps become:
1) Higher
2) Smoother
3) Faster
4) Easier (less effort is needed)
5) BETTER
Then you're good to go.

What's your range of motion with that weight?

Well, I don't think that's the issue... I think the mobility/flexibility is the issue (in the sense that no matter how hard you'd try, that would still be your maximal extension at this point).
And I think maybe this is the greatest reason why people with big quads often times seem "unathletic" - that much muscle mass in the quads, unless diligently managed, will start become overactive and produce a high "stiffness" force on the hip joint, preventing maximal hip hyperextension (in other words - hip flexor tightness).

You jump much better with the ball in-hand... the dodgeball video is awesome, you really get up there. I would just do that over and over and over... and then use a size 5 or size 6 ball to dunk it.
The only thing I feel like you could improve on pretty dramatically is your hip hyperextension, because really... it's VERY limited (just like in my case). But I have no idea how... possibly with TONS (tens of minutes) of hip flexor stretching and mobility stuff.
But if you (we) really do that I expect for both me and you additional inches for sure.
