What equipment does it take to see red spot on Jupiter?

Hi everyone

I currently own a 6" Dobsonian with few Plossl eyepieces. Currently when viewing Jupiter, it looks like a small white circle (half the size of a 5c coin) and can see the moon. However, i would love to see some detail on the planet, especially the red spot. Do i need a bigger scope? Different eyepieces?

Many thanks for your help in advance.
