From the little knowledge I have, I think you may increase it in different ways according to your goal.

If you're aiming for a greater ABV content, than simply add fermentable sugars, from any source you have.

If you're aiming for greater final gravity, add non fermentable sugars adjusting your mash temperature or some kind of protein source, such as oats or wheat.

Adding anything that is soluble should increase your specific gravity.
