One possibility, depending on what else is on the same floor, would be to make one of the walls "flimsy" so that most of the bass passed right through. To some extent, the bass response would then be a function of the size of the overall floor rather than just your room.

A single layer of drywall always seems to be about "half a solution" for bass response -- not heavy enough to fully reflect the bass but heavy enough to make a big difference. My dim understanding is that as the wall gets more solid then the room dimensions to that wall become more of a factor, with drywall about half way there. Glass, on the other hand, seems to be light enough that the bass largely goes through it.

Do a search for "modecalc download" and you can get a handy little utility from Ethan Winer which translates your room dimensions into frequencies for you so you can get a rough idea where and how bad the frequency bumps will be.

BTW, I would not drywall out the corners -- better to do the "superchunk" thing if it turns out to be required.
