Owl, I have a similar room over a 2 car garage. The floor was somewhat spongy and was driven into a strong resonance at 31 hz. This was solved by building a beam out of 2x6s in the shape of a "T" and lag bolting the top of the "T" to each joist across the center of the garage ceiling. The "T" beam can be broken into pieces if necessary to avoid any obsticals. This beam resists flexing and ties the joists into a much tighter network. This improved the situation greatly, and might be enough for you.
However, as a extra measure, I then added a steel post in the center by jacking up the beam slightly and sliding it between the beam and the concrete floor. The post was centered between the two car parking slots.
Did it work? The 31 hz resonance is much reduced (some is still in the walls) and you can now go into the listening room and jump up and down as hard as you wish and the turntable (unsuspended on a mass loaded stand) is unaffected.
This solution is very inexpensive and totally unabtrusive to the listening room. You do have to tolerate the beam, but if you place it just ahead of the car doors (near the rear view mirror), it really doesn't get in the way. My total cost was well under $100.
