will you be suddenly responsible for a lot more? more weekends, more freakout phone calls at the last minute? make the case that this is taking up more of your life, therefore you're worth at least 15 - 20% more to the company...
Also, the classic salary negotiation tactic is to ask them what they think, then wait a loooong time, with a total pocker face after they respond, so that they probably raise the offer just a bit.... if you think it's too low, you can counter with your explanation, and your offer, if it's higher than you would have asked for, you can just be very poker-faced and agree to it without them knowing you might have asked for less....
If you're management now, you may have different rules now too, like no more overtime pay on those last-minute all-night jobs,etc.. so make it clear to them that your new pay should reflect that....
Note that since you work there now, they know you, that's a plus in a way... you're vetted already.... but it also means they can tell if you're trying to put on an act too hard in your negotiations....
