tire pressure for road bikes

I know this subject has been touched on before, but I did searches and I'm still confused. I own a '84 fuji del rey with 23 mm tires. I weigh 165 lbs and I pump up 80-90 psi on my tires because the pressure gauge on my pump only reads up to 100 psi, and the tire indicates a maximum capacity of 100 psi. However, most people on here go way above 100 psi to avoid pinched tires.

Should I get new tires and a new, better pump? Please shed some light on this
