    I noticed some power chargers have more than Apple's 61W. Would getting higher watts (e.g., 140) make power charging even faster even though it costs more?

    that depends on the macbook.

    i'm not sure what the maximum power draw for the macbook you mentioned,
    but it's definitely less than 140w. it's probably in the 60-85w range.

    The power charger that came with this MBP is 61 watts.


    Any recommendations?

    anker.

    https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-GaNPrime-Compact-Foldable/dp/B09W2N774C can do up to 120 watts with three different connected devices (MBP +
    iPhone + battery charger) with 2 different USB connector types.

    https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-PowerPort-MacBook-Samsung/dp/B0885SPJDZ for a third party from Amazon with multiple plug types from around the
    world when you travel, but it only can charge up to 65 watts and one
    device at a time. They don't have a more powerful one or did I miss it?

    you did miss it. there's a 150w listed in the comparison section (at
    the bottom of the page):
    <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W2PNLX7>

    they also make a 120w four port all usb-c unit. <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J1XTLJ6>

    check anker's website for all of their chargers (and other stuff).
