What can I do to get back the shine in my hardwoodfloors should I put aaaaaaaanother coat of polyurethane on them?

The best way is to either sand and refinish the floors OR do a screen and recoat (which adds another coat of poly).
This depends on the condition of your floors. If they are worn down and there are scratches through the color, it's best to do a full sanding and completely refinish the floor. If the floors are in good condition and it's just the shine, then you can do a screen and recoat where you buff the floors and then add a top coat of poly. If you like it shiny, you could choose semi gloss finish (or even glossy). Or for some sheen but too much, choose satin.
I would not recommend oiling oil based products that promise a glow (e.g. Orange glo, murphy's oil). These products contain wax which actually wears down your polyurethane and cause you to refinish your floors sooner (plus you will need to keep reapplying).

Say it was high gloss, if the wood soaks it in deep and you only put two thin coats on it will not shine like it should. Because it should shine a lot. Can depend on how much gets absorbed by the wood.

To achieve a Matt finish on polyurethane you must sand it with a grade p400 average particle size in microns(in inches) .00137. this will defuse the light rather than reflect the light. you can always use a matting solution such as turps but it can get very messy and sticky if you don't know what you are doing.

Why don't your hardwood floor shine?
If your hardwood floor is not shining, it might need some polish. Or, it might just be old. I suggest investing in a new hardwood floor if yours is so ancient that it has lost its ability to be lucent. Or you can have your floors refinished. If they have been sanded recently, you might have a satin sheen in the polyurethane that was applied. If this is the case, all you have to do is re coat it with a semi gloss or gloss polyurethane.
Can you apply an epoxy coating over an existing epoxy coating?
Yes. Because a chemical bond is no longer possible because the epoxy coating has dried, a mechanical bond is required. This merely means that the cured epoxy must be lightly sanded before applying the next layer: the first coat should have a matt, nearly white finish.
