Advice on build please / stem!

I guess by nature this bike is kind of flexy (I'm 6'3" and about 90-95KG of pure beer and pizza :/ ) I find it a bit noodley but would a new stem be stiffer and firm up the front a bit? Nitto ? - or is it ultimately the wrong frameset for that sort of ride? my Pre cursa felt a lot more nippy at the lights/ on climbs, but this is a lot more comfy over distance.

(Excuse the old saddle!)

It's a very big bike and it's made out of old thin steel tubes (i assume). I'm not sure a different stem would make much difference. Perhaps a more modern steel bike with 1 1/8 inch headtube and larger tubing would be a better compromise between stiff and comfortable?

What size is it by the way?
