I use limiting (i.e. infinite or high compression ratios) to make overall mixes louder. My favourite is Voxengo Elephant on the master for this purpose. But I also quite like Kjaerhus master limiter as a freebie option.

Limiting allows the average levels to be increased, whilst preventing peaks going over 0dB. This increase loudness. But you need to be careful not to make things sound too smashed.
