Can you mount a magnifying glass at the focal point, to concentrate that power into a teeny-tiny beam of unfathomable strength?

A. I can mount a magnifying glass, but it would act on the incoming light, not as a unified beam, but as hundreds of separate beams. The result of putting a magnifying glass between the dish and a target would be a whole bunch of bright little dots next to each other on the target. It would not improve the performance of the solar bombardment.
