This is incorrect, Sergio. ARP replies are not broadcast, so it's 
perfectly ok that he doesn't see them.

If the switch were secured, then this wouldn't work either. Not even an 
ARP spoofing would work. The only option would be to find a flaw in the 
switch firmware or to trick it in such a way that, as most switches do, 
that it doesn't know how to behave anymore, and it starts acting as a 
hub. But it's unlikely that you find this in any modern switch. Have you 
tried to atack the switch itself? Try the firsts and the lasts IPs in 
your network. If the switch is advanced enough to filter that way, then 
it has a way to setup that, and probably that's a web interface. Try 
also uPNP. It's no authenticated, so if it's enabled, is your lucky day.

Anyway, I still think they are probably not filtering at layer 2.
