Yes, you can increase the output current. Wire both primaries
together and both secondaries together, making sure you keep the
color codes the same. If both transformers are the same current
rating you will have double the current capacity.

It is also possible to get double the output voltage from two
transformers, by wiring both primaries in parallel, (connect same
colours) connect one secondary colour to the different colour on the
other transformer and connect the remaing two wires to the bridge
rectifier. Two 12 Volt 10 amp transformers connected like this will
give 24 volt at 10 amp.
