Hammond is another good vendor who will custom wind transformers, but I don't think they rewind originals. Hammond costs more then Edcor apparently, but they under rate their transformers so if something is specified as having a 125 volt primary it will withstand 130 volts not to mention the current ratings are better then what they spec.
As for increasing the size of the primary it's too late for that, the only way around it if line voltage is a concern, is to add a bucking transformer in series with the primary. The voltage that you are getting from the high voltage side doesn't sound far off considering that there is no load.
