Have you tried a hardware Omnipressor? I have a 1971 white face unit. The reverse compression can be unsettling, i.e. cymbal decays are louder than the attack. I tend to think of it as a DBX 160 on acid (it uses the early 202 vca + 208 detector).

I haven't tried the plugs, but I know that the emulation preset on my DSP7000 gets nowhere near the hardware (could be due to the original having lovely little "ouncer"-type transformers - I sold the unit without the transformer option - they make a big difference).
