I don't know that water pressure would help or detract from that, but maybe that's my lack of knowledge showing through.

Water pressure shouldn't affect the power of the flush, since only the stored water from the tank is used during the flush.
When we remodeled a few years ago, we got Kohler Memoirs toilets (we live in an old house, so wanted older-looking toilets; I'm sure they have other styles that work as well). They are gravity flush, but do have dual flushing capability. A regular flush (push down and release the handle) uses only half the water in the tank; for larger jobs you hold the handle down and the whole tank empties. It's a nice thing to have.
