Here "strongly graded" means that every maximal chain has the same length. Alternate terminology includes "graded" (e.g., in Stanley 2012) and "tiered" (as in A006860). A poset is said to be (3+1)-free if it does not contain four elements a, b, c, d such that a < b < c and d is incomparable to the other three.

FORMULA
G.f.: H(e^x, Psi(x)) where H(x, y) = 1 + (2x^3 - 3x^2 + (x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x)y)/(2x^2 + x + (x^2 - 2x - 1)y) and Psi(x) is the g.f. for A047863.
MATHEMATICA
m = maxExponent = 19;
Psi[x_] = Sum[E^(2^n*x)*x^n/n!, {n, 0, m}] + O[x]^m;
H[x_, y_] = 1+(2x^3 - 3x^2 + (x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x)y)/(2x^2 + x + (x^2-2x-1) y);
CoefficientList[H[E^x, Psi[x]] + O[x]^m, x] Range[0, m-1]! (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 11 2018 *)
