Low action can have an effect on volume.
Especially if you can't thump the strings so hard before they rattle against the frets. But there's more to it than just that.
1. Light gauge strings will take some off
2. Lowering the action by reducing the saddle height will take off volume. That's pretty important. A good "break angle" over the saddle (to the pin slots) will give a better volume, and that's the critical factor.
