I used RSP for a long time before switching to Lightroom. RSP, RSE and Lightroom all work the same way. You are correct, the initial display is from the embedded jpeg. The duller image comes from RSP's (or RSE's or LR's) interpretation of the raw data.
If you want the image to look better, then you need to apply custom changes. You can save those changes in RSP and RSE (sorry, it's been too long, I've already forgotten how). In LR you save them as a "preset". Same idea, just done a little different.
When you import the files, you can have RSP, RSE or LR apply this "preset" so that the default look more closely matches how you want the image to look. That's what I do. I have a preset that bumps up the contrast and saturation to the level I like to see (and in LR I even add a vignette).
