You have to pay attention to your levels during mixing. It's okay to let individual channels go above 0 dB (not too far above) but the master can't go in the red. There have been dozens of threads about this already too. Keep your master channel below WHILE you are mixing, which means leaving headroom WHILE you are mixing and making appropriate use of channel groups WHILE you are mixing. Fitting everything you want into the space you have available is the primary challenge of mixing and you simply can't leave it as an afterthought.

You don't need to keep your mix below -3 dB - as long as you keep it below 0 dB, it will bounce without clipping and you can just normalize to -3 dB afterwards.

Leave proper headroom, and if you find it sounds too thin or empty at low volume then you can, y'know, just add some analog.
