I just installed the SWH plugins (LV2 versions) and tried the Barry's Satan
Maximizer with this same track, the Lost Isle piano piece, pre-fader and
with your suggested initial settings. I had to lower the fader volume so
the master bus wouldn't reach maximum, but I loved the punch it added to
the piano. I think I might replace the recording I now have at BandCamp.com
with a new version (after a few more rehearsals) that includes the BSM.

Thank you so much, Glen. I feel like you have just shared one of your
secrets, and that was very kind of you to do. :-) I think I'm going to make
some good use of this plugin.
