What string gauge are you using? I have an SG set up with 13's and high action. I use it for slide guitar and blues playing. I've been trying to figure out tapping for a few months now and it just isn't possible on that guitar (at least not until I develop the finger strength).
A few weeks ago I bought a strat knockoff set up with 9's and a low action. The tapped notes are probably 90% of the volume the picked notes are now.
As far as I know, the only way to get any amount of volume from tapping - aside from using a compressor - is to develop your finger strength.
If anyone knows a shortcut, I'd love to hear it because my tapping is dependent on string gauge.
