Go right back to basics and try long reining as opposed to lunging.

Not slacking multitasking
lunge on two lines, much more control as can support throough the outside better so stop falling in and getting faster

Gather the lunge line in quickly until he/she is on such a small circle that it's impossible to canter. Then start again from walk into trot and then when in a relaxed trot ask for canter. The second he/she goes faster than you want, reel him/her in very quickly and start again. The key is to stop the behaviour before it starts, if you see what I mean. Don't even let the "wall of death" become in any way established.

As soon as he's cantering, ask for trot again.
Just do transitions up and down rather than let him get any speed up.

Try long lines, if that doesn't work try the following...
...As horse tries to cut you up & go faster, walk towards his head / go infront of his movement and push him out with your body or the lunge line. This creates an odd shaped circled & gives me enough time normally to get him back to me. NOT for the faint hearted though.
