Since no one else has answered (or even commented) after my initial comment in which I cited three possibly relevant Ph.D. dissertations (all freely available online), what follows is an expanded version of that comment. The references below should at least provide a starting point for what you want.
Edgar's book [1] is probably the first place I'd look, since he includes a lot of traditional-type measure-theoretic issues, much of it in a metric space setting. Regarding general gauge functions (i.e. finer measurements of “dimension” than provided by power functions), McClure [4] and Rogers [5] are recommended, and see also the Mathematics Stack Exchange question Existence of dimension function (i.e., exact gauge function).

Abstract (first 4 paragraphs)
In this work the main objective is to extend the theory of Hausdorff measures in general metric spaces. Throughout the thesis Hausdorff measures are defined using premeasures. A condition on premeasures of ‘finite order’ is introduced which enables the use of a Vitali type covering theorem. Weighted Hausdorff measures are shown to be an important tool when working with Hausdorff measures defined by a premeasure of finite order.
The main result of this thesis is the existence of subsets of finite positive Hausdorff measure for compact metric spaces when the Hausdorff measure has been generated by a premeasure of finite order. This result then extends to analytic subsets of complete separable metric spaces by standard techniques in the case when the increasing sets lemma holds. The proof of this result uses techniques from functional analysis. In this respect the proof presented is quite different from those of the previous literature.
A discussion on Hausdorff–Besicovitch dimension is also to be found. In particular the problem of whether
$$\dim (X) + \dim (Y) \; \leq \; \dim (X \times Y) $$
is solved in complete generality. Generalised dimensions involving partitions of Hausdorff functions are also discussed for product spaces. These results follow from a study of the weighted Hausdorff measure on product spaces.
An investigation is made of the sufficiency of some conditions for the increasing sets lemma to hold. Some counterexamples are given to show insufficiency of some of these conditions. The problem of finding a counterexample to the increasing sets lemma for Hausdorff measures generated by Hausdorff functions is also examined. It is also proved that for compact metric spaces we may also approximate the weighted Hausdorff measure by finite Borel measures that are ‘dominated’ by the premeasure generating the weighted Hausdorff measure.

Abstract
A number of definitions of packing measures have been proposed at one time or another, differing from each other both in the notion of packing they employ, and in whether the radii or the diameters of the balls of the packing are used. In Chapter 1 various definitions of packing measures are considered and relationships between these definitions established.
Chapter 2 presents work which was done jointly with Professor D. Preiss, and which has been published as such. It is shown here that, with one of the possible radius-based definitions of packing measure, every analytic metric space of infinite packing measure contains a compact subset of positive finite measure. It is also indicated how this result carries over to other radius-based packing measures in the case of Hausdorff functions satisfying a doubling condition.
In Chapter 3 a construction is described which provides, for every Hausdorff function $h,$ a compact metric space of infinite diameter-based $h$-packing measure, with no subsets of positive finite measure. It is then indicated how such a construction may be modified to deal with certain Hausdorff functions which do not satisfy a doubling condition, and a radius-based definition of packing measure.
In Chapter 4 we consider topological and packing dimensions, and show that if $X$ is a separable metric space, then
$$ \dim_{\mathcal T}(X) \; = \; \min\{\dim_{\mathcal Q}(X'): \; X' \; \text{is homeomorphic to} \; X \}, $$
where $\dim_{\mathcal Q}$ denotes the packing dimension associated with any one of the packing measures considered in this work, and $\dim_{\mathcal T}$ denotes topological dimension.
Chapter 5 answers the question, for which Hausdorff functions $h$ may
the Hausdorff and packing measures, ${\mathcal H}^h |_A$ and ${\mathcal P}^h |_A,$ agree and be positive and finite for some $A \subseteq {\boldsymbol R}^n.$ We show that the assumption that the two measures agree and are positive and finite on some subset of ${\boldsymbol R}^n$ implies that the function $h$ is a regular density function (in the sense of Preiss). The converse result is also provided, that for each regular density function $h,$ there is a subset $A$ of ${\boldsymbol R}^n$ such that ${\mathcal H}^h |_A = {\mathcal P}^h |_A$ and this common measure is positive and finite.

Abstract [from Dissertation Abstracts International 55 #6 (December 1994), p. 2239−B]
This dissertation deals with sets $E$ which are infinite dimensional in the sense that ${\mathcal H}^n (E) = \infty$ for every $n >0.$ Here, ${\mathcal H}^n$ denotes the $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. Of course, ${\mathcal H}^n$ may be generalized to ${\mathcal H}^{\varphi},$ where $\varphi (\varepsilon)$ is a more arbitrary function than ${\varepsilon}^n.$ If $E$ is $\sigma$-totally bounded, then ${\mathcal H}^{\varphi}(E) = 0$ for some $\varphi$ and so these generalized measures allow some degree of dimensional analysis.
The first type of example is the hyperspace. Given a metric space $(X,\rho),$ a hyperspace corresponding to $X$ is a metric space whose elements are subsets of $X.$ For example, if ${\mathcal K}(X)$ denotes the set of compact subsets of $X$ and $\tilde{\rho}$ is the Hausdorff metric on ${\mathcal K}(X),$ then $({\mathcal K}(X),\,\tilde{\rho})$ is a hyperspace. Furthermore, $\dim({\mathcal K}(X))$ is related to $\dim (X).$ In a nice situation, one might hope that
$$ \dim (X) \sim \varphi \; \implies \; \dim ({\mathcal K}(X)) \sim 2^{-1/\varphi}.$$
So, for example, $\dim({\mathcal K}({\boldsymbol R}^n)) \sim 2^{-(1/e)^n}.$ I give theorems and counterexamples investigating to what extent this statement is true using various interpretations of $\sim$ and definitions of dimension. Analysis is also done on ${\mathcal C}({\boldsymbol R}^n),$ the set of convex subsets of ${\boldsymbol R}^n.$
The second major example is function space. Kolmogorov and his school initiated this study in the 1950’s. Given a set $\mathcal F$ of functions precompact with respect to the uniform norm, they found bounds on $\dim ({\mathcal F})$ in terms of the dimension of the domain of $f \in \mathcal F$ and the degree of differentiability of $f \in \mathcal F.$ Their measure of dimension was what is now called the entropy index. I extend this analysis to some other notions of dimension, including the Hausdorff dimension.
