As MJ says, the real 'click' is well beyond PPL. The point at which you 'think' the aeroplane around much as you do with your car without being conscious of any control inputs; the point where maintaining 1000 feet in the circuit just happens automatically without you having to think about power, attitude, trim; the point where you want to lose 800 feet in an overhead join and just roll wings vertical without pulling and without even thinking about it, is a couple of hundred hours minimum, I'd say. Maybe quite a bit more for the latter.
Sounds like you're doing OK so far - keep up the good work and the rewards will come!
