My guess is you're either letting your games take too long, in terms of turns, or that you're not building a very large military-probably the former and the latter may have some impact as well.
Something you should understand, though, is that virtually all scores over ~100k-150k are done almost entirely for scoremongering purposes-they don't play out quite like a normal game does. (The ZYW is an exception in a sense, but as it's done for most points per real time investment, it doesn't really count as one.)
If someone wants to correct me on the lower threshold where scoremongering makes itself apparent, feel free. I'm also not the best guy to give you tips on increasing your score, but if you provide more information (for instance how long your games take), I'm certain others can point you in the right direction.
Not that there's anything wrong with playing for score. But, for what it's worth, if you're winning, why does score matter?
