Hatsan 125, adding more power?

I know this platform is plenty powerful, but wonder if anyone has been successful in gaining a bit more power. As for a bit of background, I have owned 2 model 125's, both springers, one 125TH in .25 that would vibrate so bad after three shots would give me a migraine, and a 125 sniper .22 that was much smoother. I gave away the 125TH and still have the sniper. I wasn't into tuning or tinkering until after I got rid of the 125TH, but gained experience with a 135 vortex and 150 springer. After those, I swear any other platform are easier to deal with.
So for the question at hand, has anyone been able to make a bit more sustainable power, 32+ FPE in .22 or 35+ FPE in .25? I don't want to mess with my sniper, but have been thinking about a base 125 springer, and making a heavier top hat and a new spring guide in order to smooth things out and peak out the power potential with heavy lead.
All of this is a bit academic, but will be an excuse to be in the shop and buy a new chrony. Any input is welcome.

I don't know about the spring version, but over on YouTube channel AIRGUNNERS EDGE, the guy has a couple vids where he essentially filled the Hatsan 135 and a 125 gas ram up to 145-150 or so bar. Got some more speed. I'm not sure how rough it may have been.

Check out Kenny Kormandy’s videos on tuning the 125 Sniper. He got one to match the factory specs. On YouTube myairgunreviews.com

I've been on an over caffeinated power kick today. As I'm looking for deals, I'm pondering if I really need power, or just a smooth shooter. Maybe instead of buying another 125 to tinker with, I'll bring out my 125 sniper and smooth it out. Found a Caldwell chrony for under $90, should be here for the weekend 😄.
I'll post some numbers when it comes in. Then I'll decide what to do. Thanks for the replies.
