Given your height of 6'0" and your weight of 155lbs, I tend to think that it's a combination of things. If you aren't loading the bike down with gear, then it's easy to consider a San overbuilt for you and for how you are using it. It's a country bike. It says so right on the decals. If that's the case, a flexier bike with thinner and/or skinnier top tube and down tube could feel snappier.
My suggestions would include deciding if you want a country bike. If you do, embrace that the Sam is a country bike. If you want a sprightly road bike also, start targeting that. You mentioned the Atlantis, and it's a legendary touring bike, but it's also not a sprightly road bike. A 150lb rider on a stripped down Atlantis May similarly feel the bike is WAY overbuilt for the load. Where do you live? We could brainstorm the bikes you could try out.
