You could use "in fact" or "what's more" in similar situations. It's used to mean "in a similar way, but even more so."

for that matter is a way of adding an afterthought -- or a correction of a previous thought -- which says, let's generalize what I'm talking about as long as we're on the subject. Let's include even more in the discussion than I originally brought up. for that matter always occurs in the context of a parenthetical remark, whether it is punctuated with parentheses or not.
