Yeah it seems like you took a few concepts and tried some variations, Its good you posted results. I don't like using that module direct as it takes lots of current if you let it. And from experience 9 volts is too much for those little modules and the batteries get hot after a few minutes also looks like your trying to use a cap dump and do it at high voltages, Good good on the idea of playing with high voltages to try and get more current but in this case in most its that little black oscillator module that is working against you and also your using too much voltage imo. I have an old video showing some interesting configurations, Called "Efficiency Matters" I noticed from experience those modules work best with 1.5 volt batteries if you don't have a more direct way to tame the input. In one experiment I used 4 1.5 volt batteries and tested some various configurations, Even noticed some interesting experiments using input in series (displacement current) instead of a battery and used a small 100 ohm resistor to close the loop at the next batteries and complete the circuit loading the resistor and running the oscillator it micro currents, and fed the output to one cell at a time and they all climbed to near 2 volts and the first dropped to like 1.3v so that was interesting, few methods to experiment with. But running that module on anything more then those 1.5 volt batteries eats up the current.
