If the director intended us to see him to use the stone for that it would have been a simple matter to show it. Shouldn't assume he was IMO.
I thought the whole point of him being able to pimpslap hulk and shatter the tesseract was because of his power from the stone.
Nope.

"Here you see the early establishment of just how fearsome Thanos is even without, he's got one stone here and I don't think he's even using it," McFeely said.
"He's not using it," Russo said. "This is to show that Thanos, the Genghis Khan of the Marvel Universe, he's unbeatable in 1-on-1 battle. He's conquered thousands of worlds. He's a much more polished fighter than the Hulk, and Thor, and Loki."
He really needs to wank his fist to use it while fighting and performing other feats of strength? I don't like infinity wars enough to study and find out.
Yeah, he clenches his fist and/or the stone he is using glows when he's using them. I actually don't think he ever uses the Power Stone to amp his physical stats in the film.
I understand when he's using the other stones but I had assumed his strength was on constant power up from that stone
I don't think so. At least, nothing I can recall indicates as much, and Russo's statements indicate that, despite possessing it, it doesn't passively amplify his stats.
