It's all about Equalizing and Compressing.

More about mastering really - to get the top volume of the mix.

mastering partially is equalising and compressing :)

Ok, let's make it a combination of all three then!

The basic answer is limitng, but please, don't go beyond +4dBu on a -14 (EBU) dB FS calibrated VU meter. Use a limiter plugin such as the Waves L3 to limit the peaks and bring the level up.

Really, you want to look into doing a proper mastering job if you're looking to attain a respectable maximum volume though, which generally involves a combination of equalising, stereo imaging, compression and limiting. If you're not willing to do all that, then simply don't maximise the volume and just work on creating a good mixdown. :)
