You can place the significance level from coefficient next to it this way, 
abeit not in the same column.

sysuse auto, clear
dprobit foreign mpg rep78 headroom 
outreg2 using myfile, bdec(3) nor2 bracket nocons replace noaster
probit foreign mpg rep78 headroom 
outreg2 using myfile, bdec(3) nor2 bracket nocons stats(aster)

There is an issue here as to which significance level should be 
reported. -dprobit- reports with respect to the coefficient,
yet -mfx- reports with respect to the marginal effect. -dprobit- 
predates -mfx- by several versions.

probit foreign mpg rep78 headroom
mfx

I am not sure the significance level is something that should be 
mixed. -dprobit- is a rare command that does this.

I would be interested in other people's opinions on this point.
