Phono stage cartridge compatibility question

I just purchased a second hand Allinic H 1201 here on agon and was wondering about the gain on mm cartridges. I’m using a Hana SH with a VPI Scoutmaster and upgraded from a Vincent PHO-8. The Hana is the high output version and I assumed set on mm on the phono stage. I accidentally hooked up H1201 for mc and the volume was a lot louder and the volume knob was about the same volume at the 10 o’clock position as the 3 o’clock position. Can this cause harm to the equipment? I am eventually planning on buying a low output mc cartridge in the future for my other tone arm and am wondering if I could get a little more gain on the volume knob with the adjustable gain settings on the H2101 transformers. I don’t kneed a huge amount of extra gain, it just feels like I have to turn it up way to high on some LPs like ZZ Top “Tres Hombres”. Thanks for any suggestions or advice!
