I bought a new toilet in the late 90's. It's a American Standard power flush, it uses an air cylinder to compress the water charge, sort of like a water hammer cylinder.
When it flushes it pushes the water pretty hard. I also tiled the floor at the same time so the base was higher than it was previously. I tried wax rings but they blew out, I tried two also but same problem. I found a different type of seal at Home Depot, it used a flange with a neoprene seal that contacts the toilet base. I had to buy a few spacers to bring it up to the base of the toilet. I never had another problem. It never leaked again.
If you can't bolt the toilet down, there isn't much that would help except to fix the flange.
Here's an idea for that too.
