I'm a TC Controller .
If you are on a SID, and I say nothing about levels/altitudes,I expect you to follow the SID profile.
If you are departing, say, LL on a DVR SID and I say ' Sqwauk ident,No ATC speed restriction,climb altitude 6000' '( which in this case also happens to be the final SID alt). I would expect you to cancel any SID level restrictions and climb directly to 6000'.
The same would apply if I climbed you to any FL, I would expect you to climb directly to that FL with no stop offs.
