120 year old steam/hot water combination

In live in an historic 120+ year old house with steam heat. Some years ago the previous owners converted the ground floor heating to hot water, but left the upstairs single pipe steam. There is only one boiler, with a recirculating pump for the hot water attached. The system seems to work fine, but i was wondering if I should upgrade to a newer, more efficient boiler, and if I should make other changes.
The boiler is a Utica Low Pressure Gas Boiler (PEG 300AS) with a 300K BTU rating. I would appreciate any opinions.
Thanks.
