One could adjust the coupling constant in several ways..
You'd also need some way to adjust the primary L (so as to tune the system,
unless you're doing an all driven, non resonant approach)
One is to put two primary windings inside the secondary and use a variable
transformer (air core, of course) to vary the currents. Perhaps something
like a goniometer? Some horribly complex arrangement of capacitors and
rotating coils with variable coupling?
Make the internal primary/external secondary the second stage of a quadruple
resonance system (like a magnifier...)
