The floor material has Reflection_Light_Mult checked. TURN THAT OFF. Never turn that one on or the other one, Reflection_Kd_Mult.
They are included for very special reasons and do not produce realism. They will make the amount of reflections depend on how strong the light is hitting the floor and that is bull crap for realism. Think about it. When you look in a mirror, what makes your face brighter, a light shining on the mirror or a light shining on your face? Answer: your face - shining a light on the mirror will have nothing to do with how bright your reflection should be.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
