I'm quite interested by why some tracks sound so much better loud than they do otherwise. I'm not talking about tracks that sound a little bit better when they're louder, I mean ones where you don't like them at all quiet, but are good loud.
One track I'd include in this is Carl Craig's remix of Revelee. Played quiet it sound boring and even amateurish in places. Played loudly, it's hypnotic and really good.

I've noticed that, too. I can listen to classical music, folk, ambient or most rock bands at any volume and still enjoy the experience, but stuff that's a bit more on the edge (like "Bitches Brew", which is playing very loudly at the moment, or most weird electronic music) ONLY sounds good if it's being played very, very loud.

Yeah, I've noticed this on a few songs. I guess it could be due to a large dynamic range, but with audibly pleasing parts of a low amplitude.
I'll go and do an exhaustive study and annoy all my neighbours....
More likely it's to do with emotions and memories of songs or something or other psychological things rather than psychoacoustics(?)

Heavy stoner rock and doom like Sleep, Electric Wizard, Cathedral et al. It changes the air pressure in my house and sometimes makes it hard to breathe. I love the physical changes that increasing the volume brings on.

"most vex'd tunes, really."
yesterday I was playing degenerate loud on my speakers while cleaning the house. it's great to hear those basslines projected through my apartment. I can appreciate their music quietly on a decent pair of headphones, though.
