Do you mean that a "bigger" box is your idea of a better TV antenna
amplifier? This looks plenty big:

Dimension: 498mm (W) x 360mm (D) x 280mm (H)
Or, perhaps you mean't something other than size?

Â*I stored a rack mount Wingard distribution amplifier for years before
I tossed it.

I was about 19" x 6" x 3".

I always thought it would be good for something, but never ran across
that something.

Higher gain does not buy you much in the way of a performance
improvment. At best, all you need for gain is a bit more than the
coax cable loss between the amp and the TV (or distribution amp). Too
much gain just generates intermodulation products, AGC overload, and
other receiver problems caused by too much signal.
