I know gravitons are theoretical, but do you have any ideas on how an abject could absorb more gravitons. Maybe if you increase the number of electrons?

Gravitons would couple to mass as they are the gravity particle. In addition gravitons would have spin-2 so absorption would involve a net spin-2 transition in the object and of course the transition energies would have to match the gravition's energy.
