Default DL sticking point

My sticking point with deadlifts is on the floor. Box squats help with power/explosiveness out of the bottom. What can I do for deadlifts? When I pulled 380 yesterday, which was a PR by 15lbs, I was at around 98 or 99% effort at the bottom, but it took probably only 90% of my lockout power. Obviously I tried to stay as fast as I could through the movement and all, so maybe I mean "potential" when I use those percentages...it was a 100% effort. Any ideas? Would standing on a board so I lose some leverage be beneficial for the "bottom" of the movement?
