You don't need much. A small dab near the end of the plug will work its way up the threads as you screw in the plug.
If you tighten the plugs using the "hand tighten until seated, then one additional 1/4 turn" you'll never overtorque them.
I guess I am paranoid after seeing the results of aluminum to steel galling. Never again. I use anti-seize on my wheel lug bolts too. I remove and install wheels two to three weekends a month for the spring and summer, and being 1,000 miles away from home with a stripped stud is no fun. Been there, done that at the Peru National Tour two years ago and it sucked.
