Sounds like you have power brakes, those are designed to roll your foot off the gas pedal and onto the brake pedal without lifting.
You may be able to adjust the rod that goes into the booster out a little.

If you adjust that booster rod, make double sure that the drum brake shoes on all 4 wheels are self adjusting properly and that you don't run out of pedal before the shoes can apply enough pressure to the drums. A high pedal my be intentional due to 4 wheel drums. Disk brakes ride closer to the rotor and don't need as much pedal movement to fully apply.
