170 ?
--is it running 100% of the time now?
if yes, turning the water temp up won't help
did you turn the room air themostat up?

Yes, if the boiler is cycling on and off, increasing the temperature may help. I've seen systems at 180 degrees. If it is at 100% it is taking all the heat it can make.
To give a better answer we'd really have to know all about the design. There may not be enough of the radiation portion of the system to heat the house enough. If that is the case, you have to supplement with other forms of heat such as space heaters.
