Generally, while PA can do digital amplification for streams we don't export this functionality in the UI since this generally doesn't make too much sense, unless we add some dynamic range compression code to PA, because otherwise you'd get clipping for most sounds. YOu can always decrease the volume of all other streams if one stream is already at 100% and still too low in volume.
