There was an episode of "Holmes on Homes" that addressed a kitchen that had bouncy floors. Mike doubled the floor joists and recommended a post which tha owners did not opt for due to plans to finish the basement. I would pay a structural engineer the couple of hundred to get a professional assessment before I did the floor. Back east, I tiled a kitchen but at the same time put in a basement half bath immediately beneath it. This required walls which stiffened up the kitchen floor considerable (no bounce).
