Probably around 5 - 8 points if you aim it and peak it towards 61.5. But it won't be the same on every transponder. I used a larger dish 1000.2 sat dish with a triple lnb holder and aimed it at 61.5 a few years back ,when I was on western arc and wanted to add 61.5 to the mix for locals off that sat. I saw an increase in my transponders and spotbeams anywhere from 5 - 8 points after using the 1000.2 sat dish instead of from a dish 500 sat dish with a single lnb . Usually the bigger the dish pan , the stronger the signal strength.
me thinks you aren't in Bangor 
But going from a 30" to 39" really only helps the spotbeams for locals if you are on the edge. You may gain a couple points on the meter on the CONUS stuff (remember the meter isnt a true meter).
You'll mainly gain some rain/snow fade

You will get only few more points is all. I would doubt you would get more than 3 or 4. 64 is plenty on the dish signal meter. It really isn't strength but a signal quality meter.
Seeing E16(61.5) is a new satellite that DISH is fine tuning and adding spotbeams to you might want to hold off making changes until they are done adjusting.
