You'll need to rewire it. 6000W at 120V is 50A. Even if you can find a 50A breaker, it's almost certainly a code violation (and a safety hazard) to simply replace the breaker without also rewiring to use a heavier gauge wire. It would be much better to break the wiring out into say 3 20A circuits with two 1000W bulbs on each circuit.
