As many calories as you need.

No one can tell you exactly what you need. Your best bet is to start with a non-stupid amount and then increase by ~10% every few weeks until you get the results you want.

However, at your weight and height I would say that 2400 is not going to do it. This is probably under maintainence for you...

So I would increase to ~ 2800 cals to start with (I would up the protein to ~200g as well) and see how you go over a few weeks. If you don't gain, increase by another 250-300 cals over another few weeks...

Continue until you are satisfied.
