If the -30db jumpers are too quiet at 100% then they are the wrong jumpers. Loud sounds better all else being equal: for me no further explanation is required for the flat sound.
Ironically a TP at 100% with no other volume control in the signal path is the highest fidelity situation possible. Below 100% SNR is lost. But you will need the appropriate gain (jumper) to judge this properly.
