More mids...less bass?
And maybe a Boss DS-1?

If you want fat, the only thing that will give you that is mids!
But you probally want the high ones!
EQ-booster or different speakers.

One difference between solid state Marshalls and tube ones are the width of the notes. You could try correcting it a bunch of ways, but maybe it's time to swap it for a a DSL 50, or another tube amp. Just a thought. Or at least run it into a good Marshall 4-12.
For fattening a tube amp, I'd say to put a GT 12AX7M in the first position and JJ's for everything else.
For a fat clean boost/Overdrive pedal, I'd recommend the Banzai Coldfusion.

Boost the mids and crank the volume. The boosted mids will sound funny to your ears for about a minute because you use scooped mids now. After a break, the next time you turn on the amp, it'll sound 1000x better to you.

Try to use Less gain then usual (Less is more).. more mids and more volume. Also, try using a pedal like a Tube Screamer or Boss SD-1 infront of your amp as a boost.
You can always use the Boost pedal with the DSL50.
oh.. and dont those amps have like 1 12ax7 inside?? if so, maybe look into changing that. or what that a different model Valvestate?
