Have I tried to tighten the system down, Yes. I have in fact really put a lot of pressure on the hubs and am using steel skewers. Both frames are set for 132mm and the hubs are slipping in what seems to be fine. But when I am done with riding, I find the right side of the hub has pulled forward sending the wheel off center to the left by the power of the crank pull.
A couple of things come to my mind. One, you say the frame spacing is 132mm (?), so assuming you're using 130mm OLD hubs, there's going to be a tendency for play there. Also, what brand of QR are you using? Shimano's are best, their design allows you to clamp with more force than other QR's (except for maybe Campy). So if you're not using Shimano or Campy QR's, I would recommend that.
