Yikes! Anti-seize does not increase the lug's torque limit! Proper torque is figured by the amount of stretch to the threads needed to allow them to hold tight.
Like ALM said, what anti-seize does is reduce the friction on the threads, so you actually require *less* torque to achieve the proper thread stretch. Which is why you don't need as much torque to tighten lubricated lugs.
