Llorean:
It's output at a "Line out" level. It's output how loud it's *supposed* to be output. If you're turning the volume up too high on the main unit, yes, you can get it louder than a line out level, but this can (and in many cases will) cause distortion.

scharkalvin:
You may also have a problem of an impedance miss-match between the line output and the input of your amp.  If your amp has an unusually low input impedance, then the line out of the gigabeat may indeed give a lower volume level than normal.  You might need a preamp between the two with an emitter follower output to match a low impedance.

what would be the best way to do that?
