One thing to add, I've noticed that, yes, it's true you need more backlinks, however, to increase pagerank from one rung to another, you need a certain type of back link. More specifically, you need more backlinks from sites with a higher page rank than yours.
For instance, you want to go from a 3 to a 4, so while you're building your backlinks, you need to get links from sites with a page rank of 4+ (though, those with lower page rank still do help). This technique is what helped bring a couple sites from PR4 to PR5 and PR6 to PR7 for me.
Hope it helps,
