There's no benefit from more tension than needed regardless of the max that the rim can take. I'd go higher when there are fewer spokes, but for 32h, I'd build them with something close to 100kgf in front, and 60kgf left rear, letting the right end up where it does. If you want to go a bit higher, do so, but don't go for the max.
