Maybe turn off unison. Unison with some detune can cause phase cancelation on the low end and actually weaken your sound. Maybe what you like about unison on this patch is just the volume boost. Kill unison and turn it up, see if that helps.
Otherwise, an outboard compressor may work.
Or try this: Set your amp envelope to a 0 attack, a quick release and a medium sustain level. Set your mixer's preamp so that the louder, decay portion of the sound causes your mixer to clip, but so that the sustain portion does not. The added burst of distortion should provide some good punch. It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's still fun!
