Please let me know if you have any suggestions for 3 way active bookshelves.

KEF Q350 has very good bass. Almost as good as Mission QX2 and equivalent to Wharfedale Evo 4.2.
Mission QX2 is one of the best, if not the best, under 1L
If you need great bass?? Go for any semi vintage 3way book shelf speakers, , any made in Japan or USA company speakers, you get good low end & high frequency, minimum 10 inch daul magnate drives , suitable for you

Under 80k, I doubt there are any. If price was not a constraint, I'd say the devialet phantom!

Elac Navis comes to my mind.

Any half decent speaker's bass will thump your chest, if they can output sufficient SPL. Speaker sensitivity has nothing to do with bass per se.
The wharfedales are very good speakers.
What you need is a sub.
Instead of changing your speakers, buy a good sub. It will transform your music.
My suggestion is the Q Acoustics QB12. You can get for around 50k.
Chest thumping bass?
Quick thought: keep you current bookshelves and buy a 12” powered subwoofer. You should be able to find a decent one for 80K.
warning: you may not like to listen to chest thumping bass after the first few minutes.
Considered response:
you may Also consider spending more time in understanding more about good quality low frequency reproduction and what is understood to be quality bass before making a decision to buy anything.
There are some good threads on the topic here and on the net, as also several experienced FMs who can advise. I know I have benefitted from several FMs suggestions.

Connected my D225, played some punchy electronics and gave it as much power as it can handle. It was punching nicely. For anything more, a sub may be required.
What is the minimum SPL required? Can ported ones produce it at lower spl compared to sealed ones?
Elac Navis costs way more than the OP's Budget of 80K.

There's no ROT for this.
What is "it"? If "it"= bass then understand that bass is just a term for lower frequencies. These frequencies also are subject to SPL. So you might want to reword your question.
He already has a Rhythmik sub
Everybody's taking about big drivers but nobody's mentioned the Monitor Audio Bronze 100s.
I was waiting to reply on this thread for the very reason, because I haven't really understood what is wrong and not being the most learned person on this forum, I was waiting for others to chime in. His treble presentation issue is understandable - something like a monitor audio BS can sort out that issue and also provide a lot more bass. However the OP is not happy with the bass with a sub. Which BS in a "BS" format (not talking about the heresys and the lintons) will outdo a dedicated sub?
EDIT - I see you suggested the monitor audio too.

By 'it', I meant slamming/chest thumping bass. What is the minimum spl required to produce it? Can it be produced at 50db spl?
edit:
I am not sure that given the size Limitations of conventional bookshelf speakers (5-7” woofers(?), chest thumping blasts of air pressure can be generated. But I read that Devialet phantom is engineered to do this?

I have experienced chest thumping bass from a Yamaha HS 80. Hope the chest thumping bass is not body dependent.
Apparently it's surreal. It'll be interesting to see whether it can best a KEF KC62/KF92 or larger conventional subs.
the fact that conventionally, we do not see bookshelves producing chest thinking bass does not imply that the technology does not exist. Of course, the cost of implementation is the major limiting factor.
The Klipsch Fives which have 5.25 inch woofers allegedly produce hugely more bass than the Klipsch RP600M with a 6.5 inch woofer and the price difference between the two is less than a couple of hundred quid.
I would suppose it's very subjective. But a minimum would be around 80db with some craving upto 105-110 db peaks.
