Is it possible to increase the strength of the alarm vibration?

apparently not,

under android.os.Vibrator, you can set the pattern as well as the duration

vibrate(long[] pattern, int repeat)

vibrate(long milliseconds)

my guess is that different patterns can be used to "simulate" a stronger vibrate. (on,off,on,off) rather than (on, off, off, off, on).

also a disharmonious pattern may be more effective than a pattern with a fixed rhythm.
