The recent gains are simply due to your neuromuscular system habituating to the load. I hate to sound discouraging, but expect your gains to slow soon. The less your strength gains, the harder and smarter you need to work.
Be sure you're also training the other muscles involved: shoulders, triceps, etc. Make sure you're using all variations of the bench (incline, DB, close-grip - you get the point). I train heavy flat bench w/ barbell once every 2 weeks. Since I started doing that my raw bench went from 385 to 405 in just a short time. I alternate flat and incline week to week.
