If you did well on AMC/AIME, then it will look good on your application. How much of a boost depends on what you propose to study. Not all students who did well on these is a potential math major, so presumably not all applications that list AMC/AIME scores get read by math profs.
Many prospective math majors have taken college-level math courses and/or attended summer math programs (RSI, PROMYS, ROSS, MathCamp, and similar programs), won major national and international competitions (Intel, Olympiads).
