You stick a pair of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stageline-21-2840-Passive-Level-Attenuator/dp/B0057G44WM/ref=asc_df_B0057G44WM/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310977318630&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14236048554340016284&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006959&hvtargid=pla-564256263085&psc=1 * Between your source, cd player, record player or whatever (obvs it doesn't work if the source is built in) and your amp. They attenuate the signal by, usually, 20dB so you can turn the volume up higher, to be in that "sweet spot" *Russ Andrews do some for about 5 x the price. Snake oil's expensive stuff
Disclaimer. I've never actually tried these, though I think I have a pair kicking about somewhere so can't comment on whether they actually work as they're s'posed to

That works if the problem is the amp being shit at low gain, but it sounds like the issue is more that the speaker drivers are shit at low excursion
