For building strength Vek's stuff is good. Rippetoe's stuff is good. The 5-3-1 program is good. Lots of good strength/mass building programs out there and they all center on big lifts. Squats, deadlifts, heavy presses. I think it's worthwhile to make sure you put a pull in for every push that you do upper body. If you're serious about getting stronger it helps to get bigger. It's hard to stay anabolic and not gain weight...just accept it and do the GOMAD or whatever you need to do to make sure you're taking in more (good/useful) calories than your body needs.
After you've got a solid foundation, I love the olympic lifts (even if you only do them in power form). They aren't mass builders and aren't a true "strength" builder but, in my experience, they are the dividing line between people who can lift some big weights and bad azzes who can really move things.
