 GM> You could always add a simple gain stage after the LM311, if

 MR> Does the LM311 make a decent opamp? Do you happen to know its GBP?

No, I suspect it would be very unstable if you tried to bias it
into the linear range.

 MR> A gain of 200 v/mv isn't very large either as opamps go.

That's typical for the 741 and a lot of others. Much higher and
you'd have correspondingly more trouble stabilizing the amp.

One of my books has a table comparing some common types, and the
minimum gain figure for most is around 15 to 20 V/mV.
