Yes, your cartridge is likely the major culprit at this point. The Blue Point is notorious for lightweight bass, thin and analytical elsewhere.
I own a Blue Point Special, it too has lightweight bass and is somewhat thin elsewhere, and this should be better than the regular Blue Point.
Get something like a Dynavector 10x5, toss that Blue Point!
The EAR and Scout also deserve something better than the Rotel, something like the Cayin integrateds could fit your budget.
