You would have to modify runmin.f to do this. Amber minimizations stop after
a given number of cycles (maxcyc) or when the rms of the elements of the
gradient vector is less than drms.
[Note that your example is rather dangerous: a given step might have an
energy decrease of less than 0.1 kcal/mol, or even an energy increase, and
yet be nowhere near converged.]
