There are three things that affect volume in MIDI:

1) Velocity, how hard you press the keys

2) Continuous Controller 7 - track volume

3) Continuous Controller 11 - expression volume (used for dynamics)

You might want to see if cc7 is at 127 and cc11 is at 127 at the loudest part of the melody that you want to play.

I don't know if you have thought of this (excuse me if you have) or if you have that control on your MIDI input device, but it's worth investigating if you haven't already.
