Although, contrary to popular belief, you can actually do something about
this in software - to make samples play loud on all C64s, generate some
additional DC offset by setting each oscillator to 0 pulse width and
turning them on with pulse waveform, maximum sustain.

It might also be possible to get some extra offset with certain filter
settings.
