The only way you can increase the amps is by adding the proper wire to do so. While in theory stepping the voltage up considerably then back down at the sugar house, those transformers would cost more that the wire to add it correctly.
I went thru these ideas to run 190' from the last pole (almost half way into the sugarhouse) when I connected to the grid. I was getting 200A service in. For that many amps the wire used was 250 kcmil copper, in conduit. I had to add 28' from the bottom of the trench to up the pole, then 4' tail for the power company to connect to. Then at the pole (my pole) where the electric meter was being installed I had to add 4' trench + 4' to meter box then 3' tails for electrician to work with, thus 190' became 233'. I don't have the cost of the wire and conduit right now, but my idea was to use a lighter gauge then step the voltage up, and back down. The transformers, and smaller wire with conduit came to over 50% more that the wire and conduit did for the 250 kcmil wire.

Reason: corrected distances
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
