They gave you exactly what you wanted.
Asking for more at this point would be counter-productive and probably not be a good way to start a working relationship.

I don't think a negotiation has taken place.
You can say that you put a middle-of-the-road number in the box and, now that you know more about the position, you think that $X is a more appropriate amount.
Also, check out the chart below.
It can help you decide how much risk you're willing to take — job offers do get pulled sometimes.
Here's the article the chart comes from.
Good luck!

You can negotiate salary at this point -
but I wouldn't recommend it.
They asked you for a number, gave it to you and unless there's been a significant change in the circumstances (either because you now know more about the job or something outside your control has changed) then going right back and asking for more will look bad.
Negotiating for salary is exactly like any other negotiation - usually the two sides state their preferred result at the outset and then meet somewhere in the middle.
You don't go to a car dealer and offer them 5k off the list price, then immediately turn around and offer them another 5k less because they agreed to the first offer.

I tend to agree with what @solarflare said .
It won't come off nicely for sure if you want to push for more after they already provided what you wanted.
Moreover, consider it a lesson learned.
If you 're not in a dire need of a job and you think you 're in demand next time aim at the higher range (or exceed it if it's not that realistic!)
and then you have leeway to play the counter game or who knows they might really like you/need you and even give you the higher range salary from the get-go.
If there's something you should keep from this, is to not be afraid to lose agreeableness, you won't receive something unless you ask for it and no company will turn down a good candidate just because they price themselves
highly(but still competitively for the market).

The company came back with an offer, the salary is exactly what I asked for.
Can I negotiate the salary at this point?
If not, would it be wise to negotiate other perks?
When you get exactly what you asked for, then asking for more may make you appear greedy.
That's not a great way to start a new job.
If you do decide to negotiate for additional salary, be ready to answer the inevitable question "Why are you asking for more when we are offering you exactly what you asked for?"
You could try for more perks.
But decide ahead of time what you want, what you will do if they meet your offer and what you will do if they decline.

They gave you what you asked for, which means they probably have a good impression of you.
Don't dent that impression by trying to negotiate now.
However, if you love the job and you've been in it 9 months or so (and you still think they have a good impression of you) then try to negotiate for a raise at that point based on your added value to the company.

I received an offer from a company recently. The application had an expected salary field (it was required). I knew the range I was expecting, but the field didn't allow a range. I put in the middle of the range as the value. The company came back with an offer; the salary is exactly what I asked for.  Can I negotiate the salary at this point? If not, would it be wise to negotiate other perks?
If a job application has a fixed expected salary field (not a range) and the company offers that exact salary, can I still negotiate the salary?

You can still negotiate salary at this point but it might not give a good impression. The answer to this question is subjective. Whilst some people will feel that you could negotiate at this point, others will feel that any attempt to get more benefits, perks or money from the company will only reflect badly on you as a candidate.
Some people would feel that it will only reflect badly on you to negotiate their offer given that you have already stated your salary expectation. Some people believe that you can start to negotiate now, whether that be in terms of salary or additional perks.
