The RGB values indicate that at 8-bits per channel, it is indeed at the limit.
Suggestions would be to lighten the image (the stage is very dark on my
monitor) to increase available levels in the unlit region, add crand to the
finish to simulate dithering, or just to export a 48-bit image and find a way
to dither it in an external program.  As it is, even if png output is 48-bit,
it is clearly only a 24-bit jpg and has not been dithered along the way.
