Your room is, "open on the long wall end." You're not questioning boomy bass so IMO, with proper speaker setup and subwoofer adjustment you should be fine. Typically high level subwoofer connection can have a very slight supportive affect on mid bass but I don't think that is what you're hearing.
I would begin by inspecting your stylist with a magnifying glass for dirt or damage. Then completely recheck your cartridge and tonearm adjustments. Raise or lower the arms vertical tracking for best sound.
A Denon 103 or some other cartridge might be a better match for that arm.
