You can add big diode in serie with output voltage of each PSUs.
Reminder, diode forward current should big enough and voltage will drop 
across diode about 0.6 volt.

if you put things in parallel you add the current and voltage stay the
same, but in serial you add the voltage and currnet stay the same -
thats generally speaking...

some words of caution, when putting PSUs in parallel you need to
establish a common reference point (connect the "earth" eg the "3rd pin"
of the power plug) for all PSUs, otherwise nasty things might occur,
such as high voltage (55v at 110v ac or 115v at 230v ac) on the cases -
and used the same ac outlet otherwise if the PSU is not 100% percent
stable (riple free) the might "fight" each other due to phase shifts...

Also, isn't there a way to wire power supplies together such that the
supply voltage stays the same but the amperage is cumulative?  Same way
for constant current and cumulative voltage.  One is parallel and the
other is series, I just can't remember which.
