i actually want to learn new technologies and use theme.

Then it's simple: Start a pet project. You don't need to work in field X to do X.

Fossils last for eons. New languages, frameworks are like Mayflies. Here today, gone tomorrow.
They don't pay you because it is fun. They are paying you so you will come back and do it again tomorrow.
Newer isn't better, just different.
If you are that bored, develop a product in a new language on your own time and go into business for yourself, leaving your current job. You might not be successful with it, but you certainly will not be bored.
I have been better, but I have been much worse, as well.

Speaking only for myself: Coding for the web sucks. It's a mess. Cherish every moment you have coding old school: desktop, client/server, etc.
I'm personally hoping I can retire before I have no choice but to do web development full time. I'm not sure I can stretch it for another decade however.

Yes, you must get experience with those new technologies.. if only for future job security. Since you don't get to do them at work, do your own projects at home. If you make them open source, or at least make the source visible to everyone, you can use them as an example of your work to a prospective employer. Once you have enough years experience with successful web apps that you're considered a senior developer at that stuff, you should be able to switch jobs.

Do you ever get brand new projects? If so, look into using Electron, which is a desktop HTML/CSS/JS stack. Or better yet, use Python. Python is easy to learn and is a great general purpose cross-platform technology that be used to build just about any type of software.

|
|
|
Besides studying in the evenings, think of a project you can do in your spare time. A website for some group you belong to, or build some NuGet packages from some functionality you can think of, then publish them. Build some utility app that you can sell or distribute, or use as the basis for an article on CodeProject.
This will give you some accomplishments that you can then show your boss to prove you are ready for new tasks.

been there, had to find a new job to be allowed to branch out, but kinda 'cart before the horse' situation, picked enough up in my spare time that I could justify it in my CV

Welcome to the rest of your life.
What is good eventually turns bad; what was bad eventually turns good ... repeat.
The Master said, 'Am I indeed possessed of knowledge? I am not knowing. But if a mean person, who appears quite empty-like, ask anything of me, I set it forth from one end to the other, and exhaust it.'

Oh, sorry.
I posted my reply without realising you'd already posted the same thing.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Aha! I see where your error is. Right there!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

When I worked for "The Man" (when self employed that becomes Men) I always wanted someone to go to work for me. Be careful what you wish for.
