I agree, turning the snare down wouldn't do what you want. Have you thought of putting a de-esser on the snare? If you don't mind me suggesting, its the 9k you're trying to control there, and a de-esser would nicely grip that attack while keeping that lovely sizzle you've got on the tail. You wouldn't need more than 3-6db of gain reduction, but it would then give you the opportunity to control the attack of the snare without losing your tone.
