So my take on this is:

get a Nema 23 stepper motor to go on the Z axis and use what I have

or

get a larger power supply and stepper motor controllers?

The largest motor controllers I have found are 80v. Will they do?

Well it's a close call really. .? . . . . Nema 23 motors are cheap and if you combine these with 2:1 ratio using pulleys then they will probably do the job with 36V. . . . Think personally in your position I would so go for this option as it's cheapest and easy.

If it doesn't work then I would say Start again with new drives, Nema 23 motors and PSU that match better and sell your existing stuff.
