Analyse The White Stripes records, they are a very successful two-piece. Also check out Deap Vally, they're really similar. Changing you playing style could help this, and you can use the thin sound to your advantage sometimes.
Good Luck!

The problem we are running into, which we really should have expected, is that we sound a bit thin, especially during my guitar solos.

I'm assuming it's my responsibility to thicken the sound, but I'm not sure how to do so. I use double stops during the solos a lot and I'm running through two amps. One of the amps has some naturally enhanced bass while the other has a brighter sound. They sound really thick during the rhythm playing, but when I start doing anything but that it gets rather empty. Any suggestions?
Get a loop pedal.
