For higher excitement level playtime, I usually separate my dogs, as they, like your guys, tend to be less than careful with their teeth when they're really "up", and an accidental nip or both grabbing the same toy is a pretty sure way to start a brawl. Sometimes, I could take them out and get one focused on one toy, then let the other off lead/out and give them their own, but if they both value the same toy, that is a no-go. Or, if you can find some way to ensure that both aren't getting to the same toy at the same time, particularly after racing each other to get to it, that might work. I could throw a ball up onto our patio roof and let it roll down for my two- because neither knew where it was going to come down, they couldn't really get too competitive unless it fell right between them. If they did have a tussle during play, I'd separate them and end play, unless one didn't participate, in which case they got to continue. Or I would take several balls (4+), and throw a ball for one in one direction, and the other the opposite. If you have a dog who likes to "covet" one toy and obsess over it, this won't work- and it helps if the toys aren't of the absolute highest value.
Flirtpole could be hit or miss for you, and I would play with both dogs separately to see what their play style is before you even think about trying to do it together. My two could chase together, but if both grabbed the lure, it became a game of tug, which 99% of the time meant an impending fight. So, flirtpole with two dogs became more about keeping the toy out of their mouths, lol. For that reason, I prefer to do it one dog at a time. Also, they can collide midair, or one can land on/run into the other, which can be a problem. Overall, I would generally recommend playing this game separately.
In the house, when one has a toy and the other is trying to take it/get involved, I verbally correct and redirect them to other toys. If they are insistent, they get leashed and/or put in a stay away from the other dog. I have had dogs (and in fact, one of my current brawlers was one of them, but with another very placid dog) which could share toys nicely, play together without conflict, etc, but my current two are/were (one is now 18, and doesn't do much playing anymore) very toy driven and not particularly tolerant of other dogs around their stuff.
Re: her getting wound up when he corrects her, I would try to intervene before he needs to correct her, and send both to settle/take a break for a few. Hopefully they'll learn to keep their play toned down a bit, but you should watch for signs of escalation, and separate/remove toys if you have any concern that someone may get hurt. It's a pain in the butt, but the fewer opportunities they have to practice that sort of behavior, the better off you will be in the long run.
