How can I increase my subscription base for Kaleidotrope? Where can I send copies of the zine for review (with at least some small chance of success)? Don’t assume I’m already doing something or that your idea won’t work. Any thoughts?

The Fix do short fiction reviews (thefix-online.com) and they take digital copies. Don't know how much that will increase reader base, but if you can send a PDF it's free.
Speaking as a reader (rather than having any kind of statistical evidence beyond my own buying practices), I sometimes get interested in a zine if I see it publishing authors I like. Maybe it's worth approaching some authors who might not know the zine exists, who might draw readers, and seeing if they'll submit (for, probably, a little bit more than regular submitters).
Send a shout out to your current subscribers and ask them to print and post a flier at a local college or university. The beginning of the semester the college crowd has a load of extra student loan money sitting around. At the very least it wouldn't cost you anything.
