Sounds like a decent room save for the windows. Are you sure that your speakers (and sub--are you using one?) and your listening position is in an optimum position? Have you played around with this? If not, start there. You'll be amazed at how much difference even a small movement of an inch or two can make.
The support would possibly help but I really don't think so. You'd have to mass-load the entire floor to really get a benefit, and your problem is inside the room, not below it. How are you at DIY/handyman projects? Jon Risch has an excellent recipe for DIY bass traps that I am planning on making very soon. You can also purchase them from ASC but they're rather expensive.
Let's solve your problem!

I spent several days moving my sub around and I did find a spot that leveled off the peaks significantly (-10 dB). It was only a foot and a half away from the original location. I can't believe it made that much of a difference.

  Amazing, isn't it? Have you played with your speaker locations as well? You may find that you have been missing a wealth of imaging/soundstage information. Give it a shot and let your ears be the judge!
  Happy listening!
