I'm curious, what are your room dimensions? Maybe its just the way the picture is taken, but it looks pretty big. If so, this may be part of what you're experiencing. A "hot"recording would naturally sound fuller and punchier in that space while one with recorded at a lower volume will be more subdued.
You may not want to add another component, but a preamp can often add some weight to a source or recording that sounds a little lean. I have a CSP2+ that does this beautifully. It won't make things louder, but does address fullness which may address what you mean by punch.
You can also see from my signature that I maintain more than one system. I get that this isn't for everyone, but I still use a vintage SS for those times when I want more punch and power. My Decware is for the more usual experience when I want to listen at lower volumes.
I went this direction partly because of budget concerns. I can't afford a higher power Decware amp at this point, and love the sound I get from Decware single ended amps. My setup seems to work well for me because I have the means to enjoy both quieter and immersive Decware listening sessions and louder punch when I want to rock.
