Rather than suggesting a specific equipment change, I'd say to at least temporarily enlist the services a a super good clarinet teacher. Your new teacher can help you with your sound, and probably has a vast cache of mouthpieces, and other items, as well as fixing your playing mechanics.

Check with nearest college or university and see if the clarinet instructor takes private students apart from their regular job. If you can find someone that is really into the art and science and enjoys teaching fundamentals, you have a winner.

You very well may be able to tweak yourself, learn how to find and adjust new reeds, etc that will accomplish your immediate goal or improving your sound.

Teacher comes first, before spending money on new gear.
