Have you tried screaming? (Yeah, yeah, I know.) Honestly, you might try saying "Ouch!" in a high pitched tone - sometimes hard for a man but you can do it. Then quickly turn away from him - no interaction. Sometimes this startles the dog and let's him think he's hurt you, like if he was playing with a littermate. When you combine that with not playing with him or interacting with him anymore, this can be very effective. Especially for dogs that are not responding to your standard corrections, who get more worked up when you correct, or who think this is all a game, this technique is a very different approach, not what he's used to. Give it a try and see if it helps.
