I think you've fairly well spotted your own flaws here Dr. G.
To help with some bigness, look up "parallel compression" and Mixing more on busses than on individual tracks (you still have to do surgical stuff on the individuals, but you make your color pallet with Buss effects, imho).
And squinting with my ears, your snare does sound damn close. It could do with a fair bit more body (lower mids).
I like your levels. They are very nice. I also think your acoustic could be a bit beefier since it featured so prominently. It may be a bit thin for the level that it is sitting at. It sounds a touch "plastic-y."
Your BG vox could definitely come up.
You're pretty damned close man, keep it up!
