henchido el pecho de aire y orgullo por si fuera poco
... henchido de orgullo, para rematarla.
La opción que aporto no creo que tenga muchos antecedentes ni "google hits", pero creo que es graciosilla.
Lo de "to boot", es "por si fuera poco", "para rematarla"... o en España, hasta se podría decir "para más recochineo"...
Tal vez en este contexto, "para dar aún más énfasis", para "hacer hincapié", "para enfatizarlo" (tal vez con cierta ironía o cierta sorna).
Saludos cordiales y ufanos... ;-)
