Unfortunately, it sounds like you are already doing most of what you can, especially having an Identity Protection PIN.  

We know a handful of things that seem to trigger the identity verification letter - such as moving or filing a return for the first time in many years - but for the most part the IRS doesn't share with us the algorithm that triggers the letters.
