more than that

Beyond the amount

More than that signals that something exceeds what was just stated or suggested.

It introduces additional information that goes further: She's smart—more than that, she's brilliant.

The phrase often escalates a point, indicating the speaker has understated the case: He was upset. More than that, he was furious.

It can also reject a characterization as insufficient: It wasn't just a setback—it was more than that.
