The tank cannot be increased beyond where it is set. The water heater has a mixing valve for the domestic hot water so the tank temperature is irrelevant to it. If your water heater doesn't have a mixing valve it should, not only does it create effectively more hot water from your tank, but your tank should be set to at least 130 to eliminate the possibility of legionella breeding in your system.
