Yes, unfortunately, you will have to get more efficient speakers (Klipsch, BIC Acoustech, or Cerwin Vega are highly efficient and will make a difference) or a much more powerful (at least double the power rating of your current unit) receiver to get decent loudness and a moderate volume level.
You might try adjusting the type of surround sound mode. This could make the sound level louder. Check with your owner's manual for additional details on how to do this.

The number a manufacturer assigns a particular volume level is arbitrary. They could have made it 1 to 7 through the entire volume range or the more familiar 1 to 10. As answered previously more efficient speakers would make a little difference but not much.

Check the input signals from your source (DVD, TV, Computer) .. also try connecting another device (ipod using 1/8"-RCA adapter from radio shack).. to your receiver..
Most receivers do actually need to be up high for whatever reason.. Mines is on like 60% when watching movies..
