with a 5v supply you should be getting a 5v peak to peak output for most of the frequency range if you measure it on a scope. It can't give you a bigger output than the supply, and according to the datasheet the maximum supply voltage is 5v, although you might get a way with a little more.

I guess you could increase the output signal using an opamp, but you's need a separate power rail to run it from.
