Ok....., dull and lifeless can go both ways Is the sound too dark, too bright, weak in the middle? 9 times out of 10 Don, a good piano patch can be made by adjustments to the filters, and minute adjustments to ADSR can bring a piano to life.

First thing I'd do (if you haven't already) is completey strip the sound of "EFFECTS". Sometimes a good tone/patch is lost due to poor preset effects.

Make sure that any adjustments to synth parameters are done before adding effects... This way you can hear the changes you make to the pure tone/patch itself. Then you can color it a bit more with effects.
