You can use more LEDs in parallel and increase the peak current through them. At the same time, since you increased the current, you may want to reduce the carrier duty-cycle in order to save some power.

Focus the transmitting beam and focus the receiver.
Make the receiver have more gain to be more sensitive.

Use IR repeaters like this https://diyirrepeater.blogspot.com/

You can also lower the bit rate.

Use the appropriate lens on both end along with the suggestion given above.

Enjoy!
