How can I increase the size of the \bullet a little bit?

Question

I have this macro:

\def\hstress#1{\leavevmode\vbox{\halign{\hfil##\hfil\cr\cr$\bullet$\cr\bf#1\cr}}}

I was wondering if there is a way to increase the size of `\bullet`` just a little. Thank you.

I had no idea scalebox exists as I'm new to LaTeX. Do I need to import a separate package in order to use it? — Zoltan King, Mar 04 '22 at 11:11
Another solution would be to use \mathlarger{\bullet}, from the relsize package. — Bernard, Mar 04 '22 at 11:42

  \documentclass{article}
   \usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
{Tiny bullet: \tiny \textbullet}
{Normally sized bullet: \textbullet}
{Large bullets: \Large \textbullet}
{Custom size bullet x1.5: \scalebox{1.5}{$\bullet$}}
{Custom size bullet x1.5: \scalebox{2.0}{$\bullet$}}
   \end{document}

How can I increase the size of the \bullet a little bit?
