Hi broly,
It's unclear why you would want to have "tunnel vision." As far as stimulants are concerned, I found there is a fine line between too much and not enough. Taking too much can cause hyper-focusing and obsessional behavior, often to the point of being unable to see the forest through the trees. Fixating on things, whether they are tangible or abstract, can be just as unproductive as being unable to focus at all.
It sounds as if 36 mg is helping you a lot, but perhaps you might need a bit of fine-tuning. You'd have to discuss this with your doctor. I can't remember all the strengths of Concerta, but I'm pretty sure there is a strength less than 36 mg. I think it is available in an 18mg strength, and there might be another as well. If that's the case, you could take the 36mg you're already taking plus 18mg.
