More output from Analog set up, MC Transformer?


I am pretty happy with my set up of Origin Live Oasis S/Illustrious/ Koetsu Rosewood Signature into a Clearaudio Reference phono stage, Conrad johnson Premier 17, Pass labs Aleph 3, Living Voice Avatar speakers, cabling is Acoustic Zen. i am happy with it, but the Clearaudio is rated at 57db of gain and the CJ needs the wick cranked up to 50 to 60/100 for a good output.
The koetsu is rated at .6mv of gain, I am not convinced, I feel it is probably lower. The sound lacks a little oomph. The set up is detailed and polite and that's the way I like it, but the analog sound is a little too polite. I do'nt want to change the basic set up, it makes a great sound, but do you think an MC transformer would give the sound a bit more grunt, if so which? Presumably I only need 10 to 20db of extra gain. Am I completely on the wrong track, looking to a transformer to improve things? Thanks for any advise

i forgot to mention leaness can also be caused by restricted low bass extension. a sub can help.
Thanks again for all your advise, I know my system is quite polite anyway. The power amp, Aleph 3 and Living Voice speakers, have a lovely sound, but do'nt pin you to tour chair
well, I've taken the plunge and bought a YS Audio audio Experience Solo MC transformer. No I've never heard of it either, it's a Chinese manufactured valve transformer, reduced from $1000 to $360. If It does'nt work, no real harm done. I'll report back what I found and thanks again.
So far a good thread
Even had a few laughs.
David your opinion on the tranny will be interesting.

by the way my shelter 501 .4mv into 60db gain (blackcube) is more that enough for me.

peace

Auditorium 23 transformer ( posted from Tbg ), I have this one here ( loan from a friend ), true is, there is worse out there, fact is, I made my post above after using that one, too.
