I have 5 lamps, which I want to attach to a single power cord. If it was only 1 or 2, I'd just plug the wires into an insulating screw joint like these:
But 5 cables are just too thick. How should I do it properly?

There's a lot of approaches there. This solution is not the most pretty but is effective. If the only problem is the amount of wires you can set several joints in a row as in picture (sorry about that picture, was the best I could to this quick)
You can also use a screw press line cap
I would recommend to keep that joint inside a electrical joint box. Hope this helps.
