The problem was too much energy, not too little.
The actual cast that I was using was a rather drastic two-handed mend ( my rod has a "fighting butt" attached (they're also excellent for casting, try it sometime).

I do spey casts on a 6 weight single handed 9 foot rod, and I would suggest you tell us what your loop looks like? Are you not getting a crisp STOP at 1 o clock, causing you to get a big fat loop? Casting 40 feet even with a 1 handed rod is not a problem if you have a good stroke and D loop.
