How about adding a rate-limited amount of "bigpoints" to the voting system?
E.g. each user would receive one "bigpoint" per week. The bigpoint could be given out to any story/comment and would count like 5(?) normal votes. Unused bigpoints should not accumulate (or only to a small backlog of maybe 2 or 3).
I imagine this might help to make the extra-ordinary content stand out more.
