Believe it or not but I'm a radiosity buff when there are surfaces which
diffuse iteratively light.
Maybe here you have a skysphere?
Did you try a remote bright (even over rgb 1... I usually use 1.5 to 1.8 )
point (or small area but render would get longer) light with an extra
shadowless large arealight?
