When I'm recording myself (not something I'm a fan of), I just play it uber safe with the meters and concentrate on the actual performance. It's too easy to get distracted. I'd say set levels using the chorus and the climax you mentioned, maybe take a slightly longer run at that part to make sure

You said it: I hear you really want to sing the part of the song where you feel you're going to spike the highest level. Yell right into your mic and see where that peaks. Chances are it will be a few dB above the loudest note in your song. Hopefully you're not eating the mic and backing off
