You have only one staff here (in your system)!
I think what you want is to increase the space between _systems_.
Have a look at NR 4.1.4 Flexible vertical spacing \paper variables
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-_005cpaper-variables.html
\paper {
system-system-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 16)
(minimum-distance . 12)
(padding . 1)
(stretchability . 60))
}
Cheers,
Xavier
