In addition to the above, when playing long tones, play as softly as you can, while maintaining a steady volume and constant intonation. This will build muscle strength in your chops. Another exercise that Raphael Mendez stressed in his teaching was to play "scales and scales and scales and scales". This must also be done as softly as possible with full control. The endurance and range will just magically happen.
