Of course it helps. Who wants to hire someone that shows up to an interview with a monotone, melancholy aura to themselves? Of course, too much enthusiasm may not be beneficial either, but I am just generalizing about enthusiasm.
Promoting yourself is essentially selling yourself to a company. It's all about the sales and marketing. Sometimes, you can have a great candidate with perfect experience and abilities that sends off a resume with spelling errors, misaligned areas, important information missing, and it gets tossed or overlooked. Again the marketing and promotional variables are important. Unfortunately you have to sell yourself.
Here are two examples that I use in good fun to illustrate how you can bore someone to sleep or command listening and excitement on selling.
Example 1
Example 2
Believe me enthusiasm helps. Certainly keep it at a controlled level but be excited about the opportunity at hand.

Vince is the man. I don't know that you want to be that enthusiastic in a professional interview, but your point is well taken.
