First thing, you want to get the side null of the antenna pointed at the interfering station. A good FM antenna such as one from APS has a figure 8 pattern. This is a fairly sensitive adjustment, best done with a rotor while listening to the offensive station - adjust for min response.Get a better tuner with narrow IF selection. With apologies up front, that Luxman is not that good, in the RF front end, or for selectivity.
A Kenwood KT-7500 or KT-8300 would be a good economical choice, so would a Yamaha TX-950 or TX-900 or T-85. Of course there are many other good ones. You may still need to have off tune slightly, or have more narrow filters fitted. I have the same problem, have a jazz station that I enjoy nightly, and not one stock tuner built with a single IF filter will receive it - 100% noise. It comes in great though with on the ones with narrow settings, hand selected matched narrow filters. I am well beyond the "fringe" designation for this station, by at least 30-40 miles, with decent size hills inbetween. So you can do it, just need to get things set up correctly.
