Volume higher through tape monitor

I have a Harmon Kardon hk3490 receiver, rega rp1 turntable, Sherwood 200 graphic equalizer, a teac x7 reel to reel, and a Cambridge turntable pre amp. It all sounds nice but I have to turn up the volume to any real sound. However if I play it through the reel to reel's tape monitor it sounds exceptional I have to turn the volume down. Is it a wiring problem?

Recording input level on your deck and output level, if it is not fixed, must be set high.
I sometimes run my cd player through Nakamichi deck, with Nakamichi output set to max and amplifier level set quite low, and adjust volume using recording input level knob.
