Many AV receivers have the loudness control disguised as the Audyssey “Dynamic Volume Control” selection. While I never use it is there.... I generally just turn it up slightly to improve the perceived balance or live with the idea that there are other people I need to actually need to consider.
If you use subs or full range speakers then put them on isolation/decoupling platforms and that will drastically reduce the transmission of the bass frequencies through the walls of your listening space allowing you to turn it up a bit to compensate.
Or, (gasp!) use tone controls if you have them and upping the bass and treble by a couple of clicks on each end when listening at lower volumes.
Above all experiment... try things... be creative... don’t stop until you have something that works for you!
