Welcome to spudfiles! (And please use good spelling and grammar, that's much appreciated here :))

Yes, there are many good ways to pressurize air, look around on the pneumatic cannon discussion section. They include, shock pumps, multi-stage pumps, homemade small-diameter pumps, refrigerator compressors, and probably others that I'm not thinking of.

What are you planning to use this higher pressure capability for?

Try a car air compressor, they aren't reliable, but you'll get 150 psi.

I have a floor pump that I push to 160psi, but I'm 6'4" and 200 lb

If you're only looking for around 150 psi, then your problem can be solved with bacon.

Cook and eat a pound or two every day; in a few months you'll be fat enough to exert the necessary downforce on your bicycle pump to attain such a pressure.

(Or you could look for a thinner bicycle pump ...circular area * psi and all that)
