17 years, jesus. Thats a long commitment with a company which should be rewarded.
With any gain in responsibility, this is usually a growth thing as you said, and the company shouldn't expect you to ask for a payrise as they are " giving you the opportunity to gain more responsibility" like its a dog biscuit or something.
But the additional work you can ask for a rise, if there is 3x the amount of work then yes, you should discuss the salary implications and workload amounts.
You shouldn't compare your salary to others, as people get paid differently for a variety of reasons. But if they are not giving you a job title because of the cash they have to pay you, do you really want to stick with this company? Shouldn't they reward you for your devotion to the company?
Hope this helps a bit
