home circuit breaker - good idea or not to increase to higher amp fuse?

Hi all, breaking off to a separate discussion.  While fixing some electrical stuff at home, my electrician informed me that my circuit breaker fuse for my music room area is 20amp.  I'm wondering if upgrading the home circuit break fuse from 20 to 30 or 40amp fuse would improve current flow to my hifi amp.  Has anyone done something like this before at home?

Its not just the breaker but the wiring as well that would have to be upgraded; doing just the breaker would result in a Fire Hazard.

FWIW, a 20 amp circuit is a lot of power for an audio system and should enough, unless you have a really really big system!
