Yes. Eventhough contraindicated, but usually very safe if prescribed by an experienced psych, MAOI + Dexedrine or another stimulant can be very effective and was used a lot in the 60's and 70's and still is for hard to treat depressions (especially atypical).
Also a very logical choice would be to augment nardil with lithium anywhere from subtheraputic to theraputic blood levels (300-900mg or higher).
These are ideas, and there are studies that have been done testing these combos. (google). I'm no expert, they're just ideas but could be options.
