It's quite possible that you can't go any higher (I don't know enough about Windows' memory handling). It's quite possible you don't want to anyway.
Don't forget, you want to allow space for the following:

- Windows itself
- Other applications
- Each backend of PostgreSQL will need its own memory when running queries.
- Filesystem caching.

PostgreSQL isn't like some other RDBMS where you dedicate a big block of memory just to it.
