Yes. You can switch to fullscreen mode by using ALT+ENTER or increase the fullscreen and windowed resolution permamently by making the following changes to your DOSBox config file:
1. Change the output mode (the output setting in DOSBox.conf) to something other than Surface; Overlay and DDraw both work fine in my experience.
2. Change the fullresolution setting to a 4:3 resolution closest to your desktop resolution's height. If you're running widescreen, you will need to change your graphics card options so that any 4:3 aspect output is pillarboxed rather than stretched)
3. (OPTIONAL) change fullscreen to true if you want DOSBox to start in fullscreen mode.
4. Change the windowresolution setting to a 4:3 resolution smaller than your desktop resolution's height. This should preferably be an even multiple of 320x240. (I tend to use 960x720 myself, since my desktop is 1024x768)
5. (OPTIONAL) Enable aspect correction by setting aspect to true. Many games used an 8:5 pixel ratio meant for a 4:3 display.
5. (OPTIONAL) Change the scaler setting for one you find more pleasing. The normal scaler modes are simple nearest-neighbor upscaling, others offer different forms of smoothing.
6. Save the modified config file and run DOSBox.
