To me, some of your image look flat was due to too much LCE, every elements
in the picture look sharp and sometimes just too sharp. More unpleasant is
LCE on the slightly out of focus elements. And then there are too much
shadows/highlights recovery. Both tools flatten the image so they must be
used smartly.
There is a version I tried, the effect is a bit strong, not for the one
looking for super sharp images.

I used curve to reduce shadow and a gaussian blur layer to reduce the LCE.
Of course, it is not necessary when working with the out of camera image.

Thanks, Moose. It does seem to increase the contrast but also adds a halo
around the guys which I was trying to avoid.

I did use the LCE, local contrast enhancement, filter so it
should have had plenty of local contrast and everybody
