Storing the heat in the floor is a valid suggestion. The water should not be coming back to the boiler cold. That points to the fact that the floor isn't warm enough.
I have friends that have worked on in floor heated shops. If a chinook came along after a long cold spell the shop would be way too hot. The extra heat was heat stored in the floor. Often the doors would have to be opened just so the mechanics could work in the shop.
For those who don't know what a chinook is. It's a sudden warm air system that give a large warm change in air temperature. Mostly accompanied by wind I've seen two feet of snow disappear over night.
