As already advised to you, ultimate and best matched cartridge for this is a BSR X5M crystal type which is stereo-compatible and at 250mV has the ideal output voltage.
The old original Garrard GC2 was an earlier generation Mono only crystal cartridge which gave an even high output. You will find very few CERAMIC cartridges that will give the output voltage level of a Crystal type.
