But I tend to overdo things. Should I just go with Briwax and quit

As the rest of the responders have said, another coat or two of waterlox

I use wax to adjust the sheen of my finish (or to create a slicker finish)
but quite frankly,
wax is not going to add much if any, protection to your finish.
