Watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqtH8i7HtP0 as it mentions how to get away with higher power out without cooking it.
The user manual says 1.5W on AM so that is probably do-able on digital anyway.
The other thought is a small linear kit eg DIY kits 70W SSB linear HF Power Amplifier For YAESU FT-817 KX3 C4-003 D9Z4
from eBay and just throttle it way back. You may need to add LPF sections after it too.
