As long as you need within reason. Sometimes I rest up to 5 minutes on really intense squat and deadlift sets.
When trying to bulk up and put on muscle mass how long should rest periods between each set be?

You don't wanna stop sweating. If you do then you're resting too long.
Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but dont nobody wanna lift this heavy ass weight. R.C.

90 to 120 seconds work good for me on a bulk. Jus sit down after the set and get your breathing under control and suck up as much oxygen into your blood. Any longer you might start to loose the extra blood out of the area you working. IMO bro-science
I personally rest as long as it takes me to get ready for the next set, no matter if i'm bulking or cutting
Some movements take longer rest periods such as deadlifts or front squats
