The darker it gets, the brighter the lamp gets. If it's not getting bright enough at sunset or dawn, simply reduce the amount of light getting to the sensor.
Take a piece of black electrical tape, cut a hole in it, maybe 3/4 the size of the sensor opening, and place it over the opening. If that's too much effect, remove the tape, make the hole a little better, and re-apply it. If it's not enough, use a new piece of tape with a smaller hole.
My neighbor did this, over 30 years ago, after telling his kids they could play outdoors until the yard lamp came on.
