Turntable-Amplifier-Speaker configuration question.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I am getting back into home audio for the first time in many, many years. I recently got back into vinyl and purchased a Technics SL-1500C with a pair of KEF LSXII speakers. It sounds great, but apparently the amount of volume I can get to the speakers is limited because of the Phono to AUX routing I need to use into the speakers. I tried using a Denon amplifier to see if I could get a louder signal, but that didn't help. I am wondering if someone could suggest a setup for my turntable that would get me the fullest possible range of volume. I am open to starting with replacing the speakers and purchasing a new amplifier/reciever.

Looking at picture of the Technics SL-1500c online there are two pairs of RCA outputs: one labeled PHONO OUT and the other LINE OUT.  To use the built in phono preamp I think you want to plugged into the LINE OUT outputs.  Make sure the LINE OUT switch is set to ON.  That should do it.

PHONO OUT Is likely for connecting to an external phono preamp.
