Well, if it works for you, thats the important thing.
But, have you measured your blood's T-levels? (before and after).
According to the Wikipedia, the hormone levels are not altered with maca.
Although there is an increase in libido.

[edit] Health effects
Maca is consumed as food for humans and livestock, suggesting any risk from consumption is rather minimal. However, maca does contain glucosinolates, which can cause goitres when high consumption is combined with a diet low in iodine. Though this is common in other foods with high levels of glucosinolate, it is uncertain if maca consumption can cause or worsen a goitre.[8] Maca has also been shown to reduce enlarged prostate glands in rats[9][10] though its effects on humans are unknown.

Small-scale clinical trials performed in men have shown that maca extracts can heighten libido and improve semen quality,[11][12] though no studies have been performed on men with sexual dysfunction or infertility. Maca has not been shown to affect sex hormone levels in humans[13] In addition, maca has been shown to increase mating behavior in male mice and rats.[14]
