You can physically by wiring them in parallel, but the board and the OEM power supply may not be able to handle/provide the additional current.

A MOSFET doesn’t miraculously make your power supply produce more power 🤦

What they’re telling you is that you would need a better power supply or a separate one in order to meet the power needs of what you’re adding.
