I think the 'wp' action should offer what you need. IIRC it runs after the
main query is complete but before the template is rendered.

In theory this would work but be very careful. 'loop_start' will fire on
every single loop, including secondary queries for widgets, related posts
etc.

In either case you should be sure to check is_main_query() against your
WP_Query object before modifying it, or at least be aware of the difference
between filtering the main query of a screen versus filtering all possible
WP_Query instances.
