Headphoneus Supremus
Probably a better interpretation would be that the problem is with reproducing the loud signals with proper impact. But I wouldn't worry too much about not being able to hear the details: if the recording has been properly engineered, the details will be there. More often the opposite is happening: the original is dynamically compressed to the extent that it sounds unnatural.
Also, keep in mind that the perception of details is usually related to the mid to high frequencies, while dynamics are more likely to fall at the extremes.
