Note that boosting just the caster level will eventually reach the upper limit of the Dispell spell (+10, or +20 for greater dispell). The trick is getting bonuses to dispell that aren't based on caster level, so that they can exceed the caster level limits. Theres only two ways of which I am aware. One is throug the Inquisition domain, which grants as its domain abilitiy a +4 bonus to dispell checks (which would be able to exceed the cater level limits). The other way is through a prestige class in the Dragonlance campaign setting. THe Wizard of High Sorcery class gives "secrets" based on the alignment of the caster. Good aligned casters (who wear White Robes) can choose a secret that grants a +1 bonus to dispell checks for every two levels in the class. Other than those two ways, I'm not aware of anything that boosts dispell checks without boosting caster level in general. There of course could be other ways.
