You can mask them (a clipped luminance mask will get stars and other bright areas, or a star mask will isolate just the stars) and then apply a CurvesTransform boost to the Saturation curve.

For extra guru points you can mask the stars and apply MMT, disabling the first few layers with the Target set to Chrominance. This will blur the colours in the stars and is useful if you have white, blown out star cores.
