I agree with Elina--the bigger, the better. Amazons just LOVE to play with toys, and they will spread their wings while doing so, partly out of excitement and partly for balance. Your cage should be large enough for him to move about in with ease as well as play without restrictions.
And, yes, they can be VERY aggressive during hormonal changes so be sure this is the bird you want. That aggressiveness can lead to biting if they feel threatened. The advantage to an Amazon is that you can pretty much tell his mood, and when he's overly excited, you'll know to let him have his space until he cools off.
My yellow-naped Amazon absolutely is a very sweet bird and loves to be held and cuddled as long as it's just the two of us in the room. However, he has appointed my daughter as his "mate" and my grandson as his "child" and if either are in the room, I cannot touch him at all, and in fact, he'll attack me if my grandson is in the room. And just a few hours later, when my grandson is in bed, he'll want me to take him out of the cage to be held.
