And you are absolutely right: volume isn't power.
Dynamics are

yeah well thats what "mastering" is all about, bringing that finished product to a satisfactory level.............
and you'll need some good ears, a good compressor, good Equalizer, and an even better understanding and technique in mastering to pull it off....

another thing you can do is to try to mess around with ya bass boosts in moderation as well if it's power your trying to add to ya track....

No, mastering is all about creating a compliant production master from a collection of mixes. The sub-layer is creating that master in a way that the different mixes have a consistency to them, and that holistically, the finished product translates to the widest selection of potential playback systems.
