You have 2 issues, gain and impedance. If you lower the gain to 10:1 to raise the impedance you may not end up with enough gain.
The 167 ohm assumes that the MM input has an impedance 47,000 ohms, which would be typical. This is usually controlled by a single resistor on the input of the stage so the simplest thing would be to change the value of the resistor. A 120K ohm resistor would give you a reflected (natural) value of about 425.
.
It is proportional to the square of the turns ratio so 16.8 times 16.8 is about 283.
167 times 283 = 47,000
425 times 283 = 120,000
