I'm 185 lbs. I'm fond of 15/16/15 spokes, but I don't think that is the root of your problem. They're not going to "stretch" and make the entire wheel go uniformly out of dish and 32 spokes is more than enough for a 200 pounder.
Either you're looking at a tensioning problem that was present when you bought the wheels or the "the guy" wonked it up last time he messed with them.
Go to a better shop that has a Tensiometer (usually a blue thing that says Park on it) and a real dishing checker, not just a truing stand.
Unless you've massively crashed your Lynsky, (So bad you can't remember?) I don't think it is going to have an alignment problem.

I am assuming it was a Park since that's the only stand worth having and those dish automatically...
Depends on which one you have and if it's been set up correctly. Yes the indicators are spring loaded and go in together, but that doesn't mean they meet correctly in the middle.
