If 153% is not a pavucontrol guess but a driver limit, and I think it is
likely given as it has an odd value, a "boost" option could simply
show/hide the slider part above 100%. Anyway, even a multipler could
have sense, maybe 1.5x would be enough. Pavucontrol handles it with that
slider resistance at 100% and I'm fine with it.

As for dirty sound, well, I usally use earphones to listen to music and
movies and in that case 100% is quite enough, but it happens even that I
have to show something like a youtube video to my neighbors and laptop
speakers at 100% are unuseful. More than a dirty sound :)
