Default can I stain over poly?

Just finished putting two coats of oil based polyurethane on a red oak
entertainment center that was stained with Minwax gel stain. SWMBO noticed
that the lower section of the entertainment center is lighter in color than
the top. (It looked okay in the shop, but my lighting down there isn't the
greatest).

Question: Can I tint the poly and apply a third coat to the lower section,
effectively darking it? Or, perhaps I can buy some stain/poly combo? I
think I'd rather tint it so I can control the color.

I'm concerned that any type of stain over poly won't stick to the poly.

Thanks.
