Mantus,
When I took Nardil, I started with the film-coated Australian version of the medication, and I didn't notice any response until I was at 75 mg. The dose of 75 mg brought my depressive symptoms into remission for a while. I later switched to the version of Nardil that Pfizer manufactures for the U.S. (which I altered by putting the contents of my tablets into enteric capsules) and couldn't tolerate it at 75 mg due to back pain, so I backed down to 60 mg and still noticed a strong antidepressant response, but was no longer in remission. So, I would say that based on my experience that there could be added benefits from increasing your Nardil dose beyond 60 mg.
