hi
i have been playing DF for a while but for some reason i rarely embark on areas that allow me to go more than about 50 z levels down from the surface, is there any way to raise the amount of z levels it generates?

Yes, actually.  It involves some advanced world generation.  When creating the world, go to Advanced World Generation, and find which size you want.  Say Medium Island.  Then press e.  Scroll up and up and up, and eventually you'll find a few things.  "Z-Levels Above Ground" determines how high up you can go.  "Cavern Levels" will increase how deep the caverns go, and accordingly expands your z-levels to chose from.  You can also pick "Layers before first cavern layer", "Layers before second", and so on.  Just post if you need more help.

Hope it works.  Try The DF Questions board though, you might get better help.  The DF 2010 Little Questions thread can answer almost everything.
