Replace load-bearing steel beam with a stronger one for longer span?

I'm planning to furnish my unfinished basement in the "new" house. Since it's unfinished, I have the opportunity to make sure it's done right from the start. It is unfinished in the sense that there is a gravel floor and raw concrete block walls. The space is ~ 65 square meters and is divided in the middle by a load-bearing concrete block wall. The concrete block wall is broken in the middle where there is a steel beam. The steel beam is 180mm high and spans a 5m opening. I would like to increase this span to about 6.2m. How much higher does a replacement need to be?

And the same day I wrote the post, I received the invoice. Just under 7100kr for labor and materials (1m HEB180).
