You may push the emission even further.
You also could increase the overall scale of the scene: If you scale up, 
there will be more emissive media giving more light. The fading will 
scale along as the emissive area will also get larger.
You may toy around with the diffuse value of the various materials of 
the scene. You could also slightly increase the brightness of the 
pigments. Multiply a pigment by some value to preserve the hue. It can 
pass as long as it don't cause any over-saturation or clipping.
You may forget about doing a pure radiosity and use some actual 
area_light(s) using the area_illumination feature. Place 2 or 3 
area_light in your flame alogn a vertical line.
