TUBE GAIN

I currently have two QuickSilver line stage pre-amps. They both have identical gain. One uses 12AX7 tubes, the other uses 6922 tubes. The one with the 12AX7 has loud volume at 11 o'clock and the 6922 the same volume is at 2 o'clock. Is the 12AX7 a more higher output tube than the 6922 tube? I prefer the volume output on the 6922 tubes. Can this be corrected?
Thanks,
