What Target Volume Levels for Increasing Output?

It's ironic that you use wave files for lossless quality, but if you want to change the volume permanently, then your wave files will no longer be lossless (when compared to the source).

I use WaveGain to permanently change the volume (not the compression) of my wave files. You're saying that this process will degrade the quality of the sound? To me, changing the volume of sound does not degrade it or make it lossy.

I think the point is that it is no longer an exact replica of the audio on your CD, hence it is not "lossless".
