What does this mean? How do I compare this to my circuit which has 1 Amp current @ 5V Vce?
You don't very well - gain is always quoted at a specific value of current (presumably where it looks best!). If you really want to know the gain of your transistor at 1A you would need to measure it.
However, circuits are almost always designed to be fairly tolerant of transistor gain - individual transistors of the same time can have wildly different gains - if you design a circuit that is critical for gain, you have to adjust the component values (or at least one of them) for every single one you make. This has been done in the past - with resistors labelled 'adjust value for x volts at test point y' on service manuals, but I've not seen it for years now.
