If that's the effect you want, and not actually smashing them flat better, you probably need to go with some method of uncoupling damage from knockback. Double knockback is one approach. You might try multiplying knockback from melee attacks by the Reach of the weapon too, or you are automatically pushed back by some function of the attackers ST regardless of how much damage is inflicted (say 1/2 hex per (attacker ST/your races basic hp), round down).
