Ok, after a bit of calculations, and taking into account the fact that some levels a) don't give effect/point items, b) give no effect item but give a point item, c) only give coeff 0 items, I figured out the route you should take to maximize your levels and item pickup for the purposes of trying to unblock things.
With that said, a couple of things to mention:
1. I didn't count levels that give coeff 0 items as "effect/point item levels" unless they gave another actual item along with the coeff 0 item. (ie. I didn't count the Ankhel Jewel level, since it gives no other items, but I did count the joystick level before it, since it gives both an effect item and a point item.)
2. The only exceptions to the above rule:
a) I DID count the red jewel/gold Igor level in PD 51 as an effect/point item level, even though both of those are coeff 0.
b) I did NOT count levels 101 or 103 as effect point item levels.
(As far as I remember, those are the only exceptions I made.)
With that said, on to the ultimate item-junkie's route!

YOU SHOULD GO INTO:
PD 0
PD 3
PD 6
PD 11
PD 15
PD 15.12
PD 23
PD 26
PD 33 (including 33.3.1 and 33.6.1)
PD 43
PD 46
PD 51
PD 54
PD 54.12
PD 54.12.1D (the right one)
PD 54.12.1D.9G (the left one)
PD 54.12.1D.9G.3
PD 54.12.1D.9G.3.10
PD 55
PD 62
PD 72
PD 72.2
PD 77
PD 82
PD 86 (need mirror mode on)
PD 92
PD 97
If you go through these PDs and don't die trying, you'll have gone through (if my calculations are right) an astounding 264 levels, while picking up an incredible 199 effect items and 203 point items! Whew! Congratulate yourself on your amazing skills (and kind of scold yourself for being so addicted to this game that you've developed said amazing skills.)

PS: For those who want to know, no, I haven't accomplished this feat yet. The closest I've come is going through everything except PDs 82 and 86, as well as going in PD 97 to skip level 98.
