Then you need something to make em 'smack' & 'punch' - like a good drum compressor:

There is no apostrophe in "kicks" and one exclamation mark will suffice.

Many times the sound of a kick sample that you like, might not sound as "big" when you use it in a piece or a mix.
Something to keep in mind along with the good advice above, is that using eq, compression, and other sound designing elements on your kick (within the mix) will help to develop not only your sense of what kicks (or other sounds you're using) you like, but also how those sounds fit into the rest of your sound.
Maybe think about it like this. You love the sound of your Les Paul guitar through your Marshall stack. It sounds like God. But now you're in a band where the other guitar player has the same setup, (or similar) and the sound (of the band) is getting muddy, or otherwise heavy in a certain tonal area. Maybe you would start to think about using another guitar or amp to influence the tone for a more diverse overall sonic sound, say a Tele through a Twin, whatever.
Anyway, isolating sounds that you like is very important to developing samples and sounds that you like, but recognizing how these sounds fit together is part of the art of the mix. Some of the best sounding kicks, (for example) sound lame and weak on their own, but really cut through a mix and also bring the boom in a particular mix.
HTH.
