Just a guess but if the spray is coming from the bottom of the head/nozzle and sealant on the threads doesn't help then could it be a small crack in the riser tube at the bottom of the threads? Quick way to check would be to swap the head and see whether the problem follows the head or remains with the riser.

Unfortunately, the solution is going to be replacing the bad part. Fortunately, the replacement is simple and inexpensive.


EDIT: If the spray is not coming from the bottom of the threads but is coming from between the brown and the black of the head itself then there are two things I would try:
1. Turn the brown to open up the spray so it is 360 degrees and then see if it will open a little more so a lot of water is flowing. This would flush any fine grit that might be keeping it from closing properly
2. The small screw in the center of the head is supposed to somehow adjust the amount of water that comes from the head. I've never had luck using it myself but a very small adjustment might be something to try to see if it makes any difference.
