Andy ~

Why do you want more power?   Even if you could get 20 watts more your
signal would only increase by 0.8dB! {10LOG(120/100) }   That wouldn't be
noticeable at all to the receiving station.  The big problem would be
intermodulation distortion (IMD) (unless of course you are just considering
CW) otherwise know as splatter, which would increase considerably.  You
wouldn't be any louder, you'd just sound bad.

You didn't mention anything about using an amplifier so I doubt you want
more drive power.  I think you need to reconsider this a bit
