TLC5971 more output current

Hi all,

we use the TLC 5971 since many years without any problems. 

Now we have a new project were we need a little bit more output current per channel.

To tie two or more outputs together is no option for us because we need every channel.

We use an external power supply with 0.7V above the forward voltage of the LED so
power dissipation should be no problem.

So my question - is it possible to go beyond the 60mA limit (we need 70mA per Channel)
without the risk of the damage of the chip or other side effects (unstable current) ?

Thank you for reply
