Work your grip--timed holds and all that shit. Your forearms are connected to your hands; your hands are connected to the bar; strengthen both those links and you'll be able to transfer force more directly to the bar.
I would also just work on all sorts of other rows and pulls for a while. Fortify your back from several angles--not just one. Try heavy 1 armed DB rows; try barbell rows; pull a truck; perform half deadlifts. Get your entire back bigger and stronger, and you'll be better on the pull ups. I mean, you won't be getting a 1:1 transfer on pounds pulled to pounds pulled-up, but you will be getting better at pulling--and keeping away from an exercise you seem to have stagnated in for a while.
