For instance, The Two Towers is more than loud enough at -50 on the receiver

Among other reasons, The Two Towers will sound louder because of an unusual setting of what's known as the "dialnorm" parameter on its Dolby Digital track. The short version is that the track will play back 4db louder than most other DVDs.
