I don't think that there is a possibility. The TK11 takes the 18650, but the output stays the same as with 2 x CR123A.
If you try to get noticably more than 225 lumen out of a Q5 you'll have to overdrive it, which will result in short lifetime and perhaps blueish light due to overheating.

The TK10 uses a buck driver, which doesn't increase the much if at all with the higher voltage of the RCR123s.
To get a lot more output(as in visible difference) you'll have to swap the driver to something that overdrives the LED or swap in a new driver and a quad die LED. The quad die LED will also give you a wider hotspot and more spill light.

Yes, the answer is no unless you are up to some modding.
