I think it sounds really good and don’t think you are doing anything wrong to be honest.
You might be looking for another type of sound than what you currently have but that’s another story 🙂

If you know any other song that sounds more like what you are after you could always bring that song into your project and try to A/B them and try to EQ your song to match the sound you are after.

As you have “The Mix Toolbox” I would try “Multiband Color and Gain” preset on your master bus instead of the “Clean and Airy Gain” and crank both the Color and Gain knobs since you will get some more mid crunch and loudness from that preset instead of the more scooped sound from your current one.
If it is still not loud enough even with the gain maxed you might need to adjust the input level as well.

Cheers from a fellow thrash metal fan 🙂
