Based on what I heard with your example, I offer my
My 5 cents worth:

Reduce the low bass level in the mix. A lot.  It dominates all
else and it needs to breathe more to let other parts come
thru. A low shelf at  around - 6dB, 125 Hz for starters
The loudness  of the bass will lower the amount of maximising
you can  effectively apply across the whole track  so this is
likely to have some effect on the 'power' part of your problem.

A a slow gentle curve to boost  in the midrange (a la 2k)
wouldn't hurt  for presence either.

Think about leaving a bit more space in your arrangement too.

If you are monitoring on a less than decent system during mixing
It may be worth your time and money getting a spectrum analyzer
to check out your efforts visually.
