I can't find any specs on the BP 250 on the GK site. What is it-a head or a combo?

Anyhow, the GLX 2x10 is an 8 ohm cabinet. If you are using it alone with a GK head the head will only be able to develop about 60% of its 4 ohm rated power. With the Backline 600 that would be about 170 watts o so. A pair of them with the 600 would allow the head to put out its full 300 watts and because of the increased speaker area and the fact each cabinet would have to handle less power, it would sound quite a bit bigger and stay cleaner at high volume.

If you're using the GLX as an extension cab with a Backline combo that can handle an 8 ohm extension cab, then you would get a similar increase in power handling and output for the head in that combo.

Sorry I can't answer more specifically but I can't find info on the BP 250. Usually the best way to get an increase in volume is to add an extension cabinet. Of course, with tiny and underpowered practice amps, that's not usually practical or possible. But the Backline 600 is a pretty good head and in my opinion, the best part of the Backline series and would be an upgrade. I don't particularly care for any of the Backline cabinets, but they are cheap compared to others so if price is the biggest consideration, you might have to go with them. In your case, you already have.
