Switch jobs and move to a place that overlooks your actual experience and gives you a mid-level title.

I meant really earning it, as in, accelerating the learning needed to be at that level

You are going to really have to take a big picture approach to how you perform on each task.

Read Pragmatic Programmer and Clean Code.

Keep learning, and build your code so that it is easy to maintain and change.

Learn SOLID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID_(object-oriented_design)

Remember to never stop learning, do not get comfortable, keep pushing ahead.
