Please refer to this part of the Replay Gain FAQ for the answer:

http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~djmrob/replaygain/faq_quiet.html

You can find out more about Replay Gain at:

http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~djmrob/replaygain/index.html

If you really want to, you can make the tracks louder by turning on:

Enable 6 db Boost + Hard Limiting

in the XMMS Ogg Vorbis input plugin.
