As long as there are other, coach, volunteers willing to accept $200. voucher or a free capacity controlled trip voucher, your chances of getting something better are quite slim.

If you used an upgrade coupon or miles to upgrade to first class and after voluntary bump got relegated to coach, you deserve your coupon or miles back for use on another trip.

The two nobodies got your pair of first class seats on the original flight because the airline could not deprive you of them until verylate in the boarding process. In a more ordinary bump situation this often results in a mediallion or 1k or elite biztraveler taking a non-reclining middle seat and later a nobody gets my aisle exit row seat.
