But think about it - you're pushing something pretty much against its ceiling which leaves no room for error. Don't forget about the little "niceties" that exist at many repeater sites, not the least of which is poor transient protection and voltage primary voltage regulation. That doesn't leave any overhead (or at least very little). A good analogy would be flying a Cessna at its rated ceiling and then expecting it to provide greater altitude, even a little. Massive overkill is always a good thing!
