And so, understandably, you feel prompted to seek confirmation that
there have, in fact, been no updates applicable to your system.
I have a somewhat minimal[1] amd64 stretch system too, and examining
/var/log/apt/history.log indicates that the most recent date there
were upgrades available for an already installed package was on
2017-07-09:
Start-Date: 2017-07-09 hh:mm:ss
Commandline: /usr/bin/apt-get upgrade
Upgrade: libdns-export162:amd64 (1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3, 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u1), xserver-common:amd64 (2 :1.19.2-1, 2:1.19.2-1+deb9u1), xserver-xorg-core:amd64 (2:1.19.2-1, 2:1.19.2-1+deb9u1), libtiff5:amd64 (4.0.8- 2, 4.0.8-2+deb9u1), libisc-export160:amd64 (1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3, 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u1)
End-Date: 2017-07-09 hh:mm:ss
Casting an eye over the entries in debian-security-announce list
archives, since that date, suggests to me that there have, indeed,
been no upgrades that apply to any package I have installed.
If you are not subscribed to that list, you can examine them here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2017/
Depending on the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list , you might
also want to examine other lists like debian-stable-announce:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-stable-announce/recent
In principle, the fewer packages you have installed, the more likely
there will be such apparent "dry spells".

It seems to me that the first step is determining whether there exists
a problem to be solved.
Hope this helps.
