Another approach is

r.rescale input=my_oldmap from=0,67 output=my_newmap to=1,1.23

(In fact, I would guess that r.rescale does not work with
decimal values.  r.rescale appears intended to generate
integer color scales, e.g., 0 to 255; so the r.mapcalc
approach would be appropriate for this example, but you
might want to know about r.rescale for future use.)
