I would suggest the next step from the B737-900 would be the Airbus A321. According to the Airbus web site that holds up to 220 pax. I can't see Boeing producing another B737 model.

Obviously, there would be more legroom in the -900 and it can does have a slightly larger cargo capacity. It's range, however, is shorter than the -800. Regarding the question Mike asked about what's next, I say the 737-1000 is next in line, IF they make another model. However, I have a feeling that the -900 is the last in the 737 line.
