...get more heat from by gas stove?

Just moved into a new home and, needless to say, money was a bit tight so we
took the builders, "upgraded" gas range, for the time being. It's a GE and
having cooked on an electric range for 30 years boiling water on this stove
takes forever on the "High Output" burners. Is there some way to get more
heat out of this stove or do I just suffer until I can get a better stove?

You just have to suffer. No safe way to increase the output

You'll have to suffer, but an idea is to put the water in 2 pots over 2
burners and when one boils add it to the other.

You could put a roasting pan that is also meant for stovetop use across
two burners so you have the combined output of both burners to boil
water quicker. This is admitedly a kludge but probably a lot cheaper
than buying even a single element induction burner. Costco currently
has a heavy aluminum roasting pan for about $40 that would likely be up
to the task.

You might also consider an electric tea kettle for smaller quantities of
water like this:
