Hi Andrew,
It is great that you have developed the serve to a stage where you are receiving high returns. Don't be too frustrated at that.
I would try serving the ball to a different place on the table so that the return wasn't coming to the backhand corner so much.
You could also do as you said and mix the serve spin so that they are hitting some into the net as well.
I would try to keep smashing the ball. Just work on reading the serve earlier and moving into position quicker to make the attack. The other thing to remember is that you don't have to smash the ball hard just because it is high. Think also about placing the ball and keeping your opponent away from the table so that the next ball light be a bit easier again.
Look at it as a positive that you are receiving the high returns and then work from there.
