I find that the temperature during the proof tends to affect the rise and oven spring more than anything. On colder days I'll proof in a slightly warm oven to help, and this will provide a better end product. I do use the no kneed method though.
Do you keep the oven on at a low low temp or let it heat up a bit then turn it off and use the residual warmth?
Preheat the oven to about 80°c for say 10 minutes and then let it cool slightly, it stays warm for about an hour
