Increasing a Low output MM

Hi I have a low output MM cartridge. I am looking at a low gain phono stage; a gift.

Is there anyway to increase the output of a low output MM cartridge?

Previous posts have suggested that a SUT will not work due to impedance changes produced by the SUT.

Any other options, other a new cartridge?

Thanks

I was unsure if the gain was enough when I switched from a Grado with an output of 5mv since I am going thru a passive attenuator . If you think that 44db is not enough I believe that Manley makes a phono pre that is adjustable up to 50db .
