That's probably because the rail voltage is so close to ground. Do you have a small (no high current needed) 12v power supply with an output that is completely isolated from ground?
A 9v battery may also work.
Whichever you have, connect it to the negative rail caps. Negative terminal of negative rail cap to the ground of the supply or the negative terminal of the 9v battery. Monitor the temperature of the 9v battery. It may get hot charging the caps.
Does that give you a better drive signal on those transistors?

As of right now, are the output FETs in or out of the circuit?
1/bank or all in (if any are in)?
How difficult would it be for you to make 4-6 wraps of small (22g or similar) around one of the transformer cores?
I'm trying to determine the best way to test safely with as many components in place as possible.
