I have to say that my Philco 87 with "bridged" audio transformers (i.e. converted to resistance-capacitance coupling) has plenty of volume, no problems. Yes, conventional transformer coupling will give you a bit more volume, but in an otherwise properly restored radio, you won't miss the extra "oomph" of an interstage transformer with resistance-capacitance coupling.
