direct out on the amp is quiet during record

check the sig.
did some recording on my bands 16g, and i'm so quiet we had to have the amp blasting (the amp is on post, not pre) loud. i was thinking i either need some kind of preamp to send my direct-out to, before it getsto the G, or i need some kind of mixer to put between my head and cab so i can crank the amp without having to have the cab blaring loud.

any thoughts? any products come to mind?
remember, i need something that is low noise if it is between the amps direct out, and the mulitrack recorder.
