Welcome to our HP community forum!

You can use any wattage charger you please as long as it is equipped with a 4.5*3.0mm power jack and delivers 19.5V output.

I couldn't find a 400-watt charger (nor would you really need it), but this 330-watt charger should do the job (running much cooler than your stock 200-watt charger) just fine: Amazon.com: Slim 330W Charger for HP Omen 17-ck0010nr 16-n0797nr 16-n0033dx 17-cm2000 17t-ck100 M345....

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks for the quick response! I have a question, the block you are referring to has an output of 16.92A, and on the original block it is 10.3A. Will it fit?

You were asking for a higher wattage charger, which can be done -provided it is at the right voltage: 19.5V.  In order to increase wattage, the amperage has to increase.

Remember: Voltage x Amperage = Wattage.

Thus: 19.5 x 16.92 = 330 Watt.
