Actually you can buy a tank at the hardware or auto store that has the valves and safety. You just have to plumb it into the system. That's what I have, and it's rigged so I can turn the auxilary tank on or off, and so I can remove it from the system if I want to (mostly so I could then take that tank somewhere to use the air).
But it does greatly increase the time the compressor runs when it cycles on and filling the tank from empty takes so long that I do it in stages (turning the extra tank off and waiting until the compressor cools before I enable it again). A compressor built with a larger tank would be better in many ways.
