To partly answer my own question, I think it may be used on the Genaside II
remix of Jericho...

That's not the Amen. It does have some similarities in the rhythm but
it isn't Amen.
I've written tracks with the Amen myself and I know it pretty well at
lots of different speeds. To my knowledge Liam hasn't touched the
Amen. I've wondered the same thing before as well and still haven't
found an example of it being used.

I wasn't sure if the Genaside II remix was a sliced up version of it.
Perhaps not... I'll have a closer listen.
I would guess if Liam did ever use it, it would be heavily altered and
almost unrecognisable, but I can't think of any songs off the top of my head
that sound anything like it.

Oh dear....

Someone thinks it's used in Firestarter, which even I (a non-musician)
know is not true. Forgotten the name of Firestarter's percussion
source, but I did hear it at a record fair in Oxford, and I could tell
Liam cut it up significantly.
I doubt the Amen Break is in Breathe and the others mentioned there.

I read somewhere that the Firestarter beat is taken from the Jungle Warfare
sample CD, which I believe contains a very slightly modified version of the
Amen. It's certainly been heavily cut if it is that used on Firestarter.

OK I feel stupid now, but it's used pretty primarily in Poison. There
are a good number of different breaks in there so I guess it's
excusable.
It comes in first at 2:08 in the album version, although before this
if you listen very closely you can hear bits of it very quietly before
that. In the 95 EQ it comes in earlier, much in the same way.
Someone even posted about it in this very newsgroup in 2001:
