I've just tried ripping one of my "loud" tracks and one of my "soft" 
tracks to WAV.  The loud WAV is just as loud as the OGG I encoded over a 
year ago, and the soft WAV is just as soft as the OGG from a couple of 
days ago.  This confirms that the issue is neither Grip nor PulseAudio 
but the CDs that I happened to have chosen to rip over the last few weeks 
happen to have been mastered at relatively low levels.

Problem resolution:  increase the volume of the .wav with a rip filter 
(sox -v) as I've done in the past with other quiet CDs.
