Enhancing low frequencies for my system

Hi.This is Mike S. Here is a master listing of my current components: 
 
My components:
Vandersteen Speakers 3A Signature
2 2W Vandersteen Subs
Border Patrol DAC
Bluesound
Cambridge Transport CXC
McCormick Deluxe DNA 0.5
Modwright SWL 9.0 Anniversary Edition preamp with added phono preamp
Rega P3 table with Elys cartridge

I’m currently looking for and need ideas for enhancing my low frequencies with my current system.  I wish to have a “Phatter” sound stage.  My idea is to add a separate preamp with a remote control and power amplifier including two additional subs with crossover to compliment my current subs that are not as much bass as bass as I prefer.  I appreciate any thoughts & ideas that you may have.Thank you so much for your time & experience, Mike S.

I would not spend more money on more equipment: +1.

Have you paid attention to cabling, vibration control of components,
subs and speakers?

Absolutely, room acoustics are likely involved.
What happens when you move your speakers more towards
the rear wall?  Moving your seating position forward can
"take out some of the room," reducing the influence of 
the room on what you hear.

Do you have a lot of rugs, big sofas, other speakers in
the room?  Try "less is more" approach.
