Whats the stage made of ? Sometimes a wooden stage or acoustically active stage really helps to boom the piano sound out there... isolating the piano by putting a nice thick carpet under it can help a lot in such cases. You can also attach a thick peice of material to the underside of the rim so that you more or less muffle the sound. I've heard of techs stuffing foam rubber into the space between the bracings as well.
