Soreness is caused by micro trauma.Your physical condition has very little to do with lack of soreness.The primary degree of microtauma takes place during the negative or eccentric part of the rep.Try doing your negatives much slower ie; after you do a curl lower the weight back to the starting position very slowly and reverse the motion quickly for the next rep activating the myotatic reflex.The same can be done with any exercise IE; bench press lower the weight to your chest very slowly and then perform the press or concentric part of the motion quickly.This is best done with moderately heavy to heavy weight.The soreness that you feel is not lactic acid like many people will tell you.Lactic acid is responsible for the burn during exercise and is soon cleared from the muscle when the work ceases.

Sounds like you hit a plateu. This happens to a lot of lifters eventually. You may feel like you are working to your max potential, but it isnt enough.
One of the best things to do would be to change your rutine up a bit. Hard to say how you should change it without knowing you current routine. I would say, that if you go 8-10 reps 3 set as heavy as possible now... try what the first poster said and decrease the weight but increase the reps and sets to failure.
Also, try some of these techniques in this article. Especially good for you may be the Partial Reps, Negatives, and Forced Reps: http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/articles-submit/andy-fairclough/bodybuilding-techniques.htm

Well, God Bless you, your body is probably in top shape, and a key point is that u are probably well hydrated. When working out, water is like a joint lubricant, if u dont drink enough fluids, notice that u will get very sore easily. Theres definately nothing wrong with u, I wish I was like that, when I worked out!

Back down on weight until you can do about 12-17 reps, and keep doing reps until your muscle will no longer lift the weight, and try your hardest to squeeze out one more. Then rest and do it again, repeat 5 times, back down on the weight if on your 3rd set you can't get to 8 reps.
Lift until exhaustion every single time.
