It's pretty crude in Windows, but some sound cards are capable of very good dynamic range when properly controlled. (My Daqarta system gets over 120 dB from a standard Sound Blaster, but it is a real-mode DOS program so it won't work here.) Nevertheless, you might want to experiment with the standard Windows mixer and whatever sound card you've got.
