You sure it's bottom end specifically, or your presence in the mix overall? Given the SansAmp/Muff combo you're running, I'd suspect it may be a mids issue.
BTW, what Big Muff do you have?

Have you had this issue at other venues? It might be how the engineer mixed it, or simply how a DI output doesn't sound like a miked cab.
What you hear up-close, at any rate, isn't a good indication of what you'll sound like in a live mix by any means, regardless of PA support. Even if you can easily hear yourself when next to your rig in a live scenario, it doesn't mean the audience can hear you as well, or that you'll have sufficient presence in a PA mix. Have you tried doing soundchecks during practice, as far from your rig (and the band) as you can get?
