There is an easier way. You should use a custom Similarity, which allows you to define your own coord() method. Look at DefaultSimilarity (which specializes Similarity).
I'd suggest analyzing your scores first with explain() to decide what you really want to tweak. Just a guess, but your issue might be that your idf()'s are dominating the score computation. I had this problem and change the default idf() to take a final square root, since Lucene squares that contribution (which is one of its few areas that is generally not considered best practice). I also boost the base of the logarithms on both tf and idf to weight those factors lower.
