My first suspicion would still be your water pump. A failing pump will not necessarily leak or make noises that will be audible above the sound of the engine. Do you know how old it is? Especially if it's more than a five years old, I'd swap it out before I worried about anything else.

When you replaced the thermostat, did you make sure the jiggle valve was at the top?
