I really wish a 20A circuit had been installed from the beginning. If
I had control of the house during construction, I would have done it
that way. In fact, I would have run at least two 20A circuits just
for this room.

Right now, I live with the single 15A circuit because it would not be
economical feasible to tear up the walls and replace the wiring. I
suspect a lot of readers may have situations like this.

Have you checked to see if your branch circuit has 12 or 14 gauge
wire? It could be 12. It does happen.
