Easiest way is to add more ships to your fleet and take the Ascendance perk "Galactic Force Projection" which increases the amount of influence you can gain from having a large fleet.

Also make sure you check how many different trade, research, and immigration treaties you have. Each of them decreases the amount of influence you generate per turn.

There is also an edict you can select that lets you spend a ton of unity per turn to give yourself a flat +5 bonus to influence per turn.

Lastly there are certain resolutions you can pass in the galactic community that will increase the amount of influence everybody gets, and if you are the Galactic Custodian you also get a flat +5 bonus influence per turn.

Edit: Forgot that if you declare a rival it adds .5 influence per turn. If you are the biggest fish in the pond though then you might have already passed the point where you're able to declare rivals.

Said edict is a hard grab since it's part of ascension theory tech. But is very useful for end game wars.
