I played for several years on a Morgan hand-made by him. However, when I listened to recordings of my playing, I heard the same shallowness of tone you hear. I think this is due to the duckbill shape. I sound better, it seem to me, when my jaw is lower.

Try putting the thickest available pad, or even two of them, on top of the mouthpiece, and play double lip at least as an experiment.

Today, I play on an Opperman mouthpiece, which has more color and "ping" in the tone, as well as the roundness we both look for. The closest commercial mouthpiece to what I play is the Vandoren 5RV Lyre, which you might try.
