I have to say that I never noticed my 103R being lacking in bass but I was using a different arm and table so I'll take your word for it. Benz Glider comes to mind and being a decent tracker and good LF response. There is a high, medium and low output model. Probably not as detailed as the Denon but still a good performer for the money. Have you thought about a Shelter 501? Seems to be many happy owners of that cartridge out there. I haven't tried one yet.
