AQuestion of magnification

I have a 76mm(700mm fl) reflector. I am using a 10mm plossl eyepiece and can see Saturn at a white with yellow tinge ball with a ring around it. I can almost make out the break in the rings. The question I would ask is,
can I reasonably expect to get more magnification out of the scope?

if yes, would it be more practical to obtain a shorter fl eyepiece eg 6mm or a barlow? 2x or 3x .( I have other plossls 12.5,15,20 and 30.)

Marty.
