"Most of us who switched to low-output moving coils don't have any experience with current moving magnets. After all, we switched to moving coils because they sounded so much better than moving magnets."

But then you would be wrong. I run mostly LOMC, but I have a nice Grado Sonata for swapping in every so often.

The Denon carts are known for some really fantastic dynamics. The 301 isn't as plummy or warm as the DL103, but is more detailed. Hmmm ...

I'd give Ortofon a try. Give a try to the 2M Series.
I have heard good things regarding the AUdio Technica series - The AT150 specifically was supposed to be pretty good with dynamics.
Another possibility would be experimenting with replacement needles with the OM series (I have no idea how compatible the various higher end tips would work with an OM-5e, but if they do - you can put in nearly any tip you'd want. The OM series is under appreciated in my opinion. It's inexpensive (for the 3E and 5E) but they are pretty good.
