No post (at least that I saw) claimed that setting the thermostat up
increased the rating of a standard residential hot air furnace.

Claiming that setting the thermostat higher than the desired temperature
will cause the room to reach that temperature faster is _exactly_equivalent_
to claiming that setting the thermostat higher than the desired temperature
will increase the output of the furnace. :-)
