Default Parts to handle more power?

I had the trans rebuilt about 6k miles ago, maybe a little more. I only had the cash to do a stock rebuild plus a shiftkit and tranny cooler . My question is are there any parts that you can upgrade to allow the trans to handle more power without actually rebuild the entire thing??

The reason i ask is that i have bolt-ons, cam, and im plannin on installin a high stall converter (which i've heard puts more strain on the tranny... or at least produces more heat) and eventually goin heads and/or small shot of spray. Down the road i will get a full on performance rebuild, but for now im just trying to find out if i can add a little more security.

Well i already have a b&m shift kit (maybe stage 1 or 2 not sure)shifts just fine, not too soft not too hard. But what is the sonnax 2nd servo? What does it do and what will it help prevent? Also why only do the 2nd servo?
