You need the \paper block properties for spacing between systems;
'next-staff-spacing is one of the properties which sets spacing
*between* staves in a system:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/vertical-spacing-between-systems#Vertical-spacing-between-systems

and

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/page-formatting#Vertical-dimensions

Something like

\paper {
  between-system-spacing #'padding = #10
}

should let your staves breathe a bit.
