Ygrec, what about playing with him before you go to bed to wear him out?
If that doesn't work I'd try the spray bottle. It sounds like he got in the habit of being able to go out at night. He wants to continue having fun. Any behavior you try to eliminate is likely to escalate before it goes away. Yowling worked before. He yowled. You let him out. Now he yowls and doesn't get let out. From Pumpkin's perspective the humans in the house have suddenly gotten stupid. They don't do what they are supposed to when he yowls! You're going to have to be patient and stick to your guns. If you give in and let him out once you'll be back to square one retraining him.
