If you want to avoid clipping, -6dB max peaks will keep you safe. When you do post processing, I think you can raise your output levels with the master controls in your DAW, correct Peter?
Also, there’s a tool called normalizing in (I believe) all DAW’s that raises the output levels to just under a clipping level. I’ve seen that listed as a mastering tools in some video tutorials.
