Are you compressing/eqing it beforehand? If it's been uploaded at low volume, chances are it'd clip when brought any higher, in which case any amplification should be done with the volume knob of your speakers (which for reasons I forget
doesn't cause clipping), not boosting the recording itself. You'll probably only damage the quality by boosting it and exporting again - compressing and/or equalising could make the recording feel louder (if only you could roll heckles and drunken twats off at a particular frequency

) without bringing the already high levels (typically that annoying thud/squelch which certain low-end recorders can't handle

) above 0db.
I'm far from expert on the subject, but it seems improbable that a "remastering" process consisting of increasing the volume will do more good than harm, unless you're just normalising

A straight export to MP3 might be alright though, provided the codec feels like losing the right frequencies
