'Dangers' are countable, therefore use 'many', or 'a lot of '. You could use 'much danger' but not 'much dangers' as you are using 'danger' as a mass noun and it can't be counted, whereas 'dangers', being countable, will work with 'many' or 'a lot of'. You can use 'more' with either - 'There is more danger than before', or 'There are more dangers than before'.
