One way to handle this would be to replace the tubes with 5751s. Many people think they are a better sounding tube than the 12ax7, and they have 30% lower gain so your volume would be lowered in general. This would give your volume knob a greater listenable range.
Large volume adjustments on Jolida amp
I recently purchased a Jolida 1501 RC integrated and like just about everything on it, except--I can never get the "right" volume setting. It always is too loud or too soft--the increments adjusted by the remote seem to be just too large. The Jolida remote has smaller increments than my universal remote, but I still have to jump up from my chair to make adjustments.
Is this a matter of too much gain? Would a Rothwell in-line attenuator help with this? Right now my source is a Denon DCM370 CD player connected to the amp with Siltech Paris IC's. I am about to add a DAC, which I suspect might strengthen the signal into the amp even more.
Don't know if there's a fix (other than sitting farther away from my speakers).
