Wouldn't make much of a difference -- do the math.  Even if the level
of interference were the same (which it would not be), a tenfold
increase in power would give only a threefold increase in coverage
area, thanks to the inverse square law.

Most of the big European and North African broadcasters are a megawatt
or two -- just to get over the noise floor, thanks to all the other
European and North African broadcasters running hundreds of kilowatts.
