It´s kind of hard in English to explain, in Polish there´s a similar construction (bardzo, ale to bardzo) that is close to the "çok ama çok", so if I were to translate it into English, I´d say "I miss you very, and I mean very much". So yeah, to answer your question, it would be used for emphasizing the "çok".

I´ve always understood ´çok ama çok´ to mean something similar to ´very very´ or ´very much´

But I have used it a few times in Turkia and native speakers have looked at me in a way that suggests they haven´t got a clue what I am talking about........

 

For example:

"Bugün havayý sýcakdý, bu nedenle þimdi ben çok ama çok yüzmek istiyorum"

Today the weather has been hot, therefore now I very much want to swim

 

"bu yemeði çok ama çok güzel sanýrým"

I think this food is very very nice

Ýt isnt used much in Turkey anyway not by speaking maybe by writing Ý dont know.

For very much its more common to use ´çok fazla´ or when you want to say for example the food is very nice, then you can use a stonger word as ´lezzetli´ (delicious).
