EDIT: Just googled around and seen that in some other cars, the bixenon functionality is controlled in the stock ballast. I wonder if that is the same for our cars??

Why would you want your low beams higher/brighter?
Take a look at this.

Not on the benz but I run 55w HID fogs on the 997TT in 3000k format... super bright but they are lower (fog lamp locale) so they are not blinding. Its an easy swap and Im sure you can make such changes for your headlights with the slim ballasts (I have the slim ones for the 55w)
I would not change my headlight wattage. The GTR bulbs are strong, the P car is good, and the Benz is the best of the lot. 4300k's are very very bright.
