You say that you want more resistance and more breath control. These things do not come from your instrument or your mouthpiece, but from your diaphragm muscle(the breathing muscle). The important thing here is _support_ of the air flow. Beeing able to hold an even and smooth tone for a long time is a sure sign of a good tuba player. Now I play a Eb tuba in a brass band, and I know that the way you use your air is quite different in a CC tuba, but I'm sure that this goes for your style of playing too.

I hope this was helpful to you. Good luck!
