I recently bought a sun star plant and the bulbs are top heavy and causing the entire plant to droop. What should I do?

It almost sounds like you are over watering the plant. You should just water this plant once a week and don't try to over water it because the plant does not do good in wet solid and does a lot better in dryer soil. Normally on these plants the leaves are a bit droopy and this is normal when it flowers.
Make sure you do not overwater. You also want to make sure they receive bright indirect sunlight. Also it prefers a cooler indoor temperature.
Try a bigger pot for more stability, adding more soil. Make sure that this plant is moist (not wet) .
I believe that I've always known these as Star of Bethlehem.
It sounds like you may need to repot your plant into a larger pot (with good drainage please). You can also divide up the bulbs and use several pots.

If that is not the case then you may need to stake your plant until it gets acclimated to its new home. Big store bought plants sometimes have a difficult adjusting as we have no way to know what type of atmosphere they were grown in and most likely, it is nothing like what we bring it home to.
It is always best to do research on a new plant as soon as we bring it home as the little tags that come with a plant leave a lot to be desired as to real information and the future health of a new plants starts immediately - just as soon as we set it down - indoors or outdoors.
Several things about this plant:
"Don't be alarmed if the strappy foliage at the base of the plant is floppy, the 4-inch basal foliage naturally lies on the ground."
"Prune off foliage to the ground only after it has yellowed. Until that point, it still is taking in energy for next season's growth."
My plant seem easy to grow but I have them outside so not too sure of special care on indoors - I like to research and find what I need to do with new plants - especially where water, sun light and fertilizer is concerned.
