Assuming that you have an ability equal to the other player you mention, and since you have stated that it is his BIG sound that makes the difference:

1) What find of horn is he playing/What kind are you playing?

2) What kind of mouthpiece are you using? Is he using a deep mouthpiece like a Bach 24W or Helleberg?

Is your horn in good repair, and have you given the interior a good clesning?

I don't know if any of these things might help you determine the reason why his tone is "bigger". Just some thoughts for what they are worth.

Of course, if you REALLY want to get a BIG tone, you might go try out a 2xJ Conn and see if it helps!! (Yeah, I know, I am partial to the big beastie)
