is there any way to concentrate a dye to make a higher strength dye?

It's rather illogical. You just keep adding more of the dye. In real life that would mean that you get a greater quantity of the same colour, in MO it means you get the same quantity (one infinite dye tub full) of a more intense colour.
Regarding the colour you linked, I'd be surprised to get that intense a shade from so few ingredients, but who knows? One of the problems with dyeing (as with potion making in general, because dye making is simply a branch of potion making) is that you can spend a fortune on rare ingredients and get nothing for your pains - except a little more knowledge about what doesn't work.
All I can say is that, using Myrland Rose as an example, I take 1,000 and make a keg full of red potion. I forget the actual units, but the keg can be emptied into the dye tub about 10 times. The first time gives a very pale pink colour (so about 100 Myrland Roses worth) then each addition makes it darker. The whole keg is needed to get a decent red colour.
