With DD-WRT firmware, the transmit power defaults to 28mW (with a range of
1-250mW).

How high can I safely increase this, presuming that this will improve my
WiFi coverage across my property?

I wouldn't raise it higher than necessary for a good signal. The
documentation suggests not more than 70mW.

Raising it well above the output of your client card won't help. Just
because your computer can hear the router doesn't mean the router can
hear you.
