The next size chuck body is the g3 then the supernova 2 in that line. However, out of the box you won't really have greater capacity without different jaws.

The 75 mm, 100mm, jaws work on any of the larger Nova chucks (G3 - Super Nova or Titan) The 130 mm jaws are recommended only for the Super Nova and Titan

NOVA Chuck Accessories Index It a nice chuck, just need to use it with appropriate jaws, for what it's rated. Enjoy!
