Try early aggression with Eridani or Orion who are made for early aggression. In fact if you don't attack early with those races there is no point in selecting them as other players will most likely eventually surpass you in economy and tech. Eridani can easily do turn 1 home system attacks if the tiles come out reasonably. Don't forget your Eridani interceptor can be the pin for an ancient while your dreadnought goes through...
Exactly what I was going to suggest. Orion can take the galactic center on turn 2. Opens the game up fast. Put people on the defensive. I bet the reason why the early aggressor is losing is because he's doing it on turn 7 or 8 which is still way too late.
