I have 3 floors of large south facing windows as well. We have the "low e" windows from Gienow that were builders standard 3 years ago and they do make a big difference.
9' foot ceilings in the basement and main floor are a great idea. If doing hardwood, upgrade to the hardest one you can afford (it does make a difference).
Lots of other good suggestions .... as probably was already stated, upgrade the kitchen and bathrooms as much as you can.
