no... the current is limited by the huge (equivalent) inductance in 
series with the HV, which is created by how the transformer is made. You 
can knock out some of the "shunts" in the core, if you have a 
transformer which has been depotted, and that will increase the current.

Or, you can just hook multiple NSTs in parallel

Not really.. the voltage isn't high enough.  You need to be up in the 
30kV range to start producing significant x-rays.

Google for "the Bell Jar" a vacuum hobbyist newsletter and there's some 
good articles on home made x-ray sources..
