Default Getting more punch from heavily distorted guitars?

When recording distorted guitars (eg. metal) that are heavily compressed, do you have any tips for achieving greater punch? Obviously it's a challenge if the wave form looks like a brick, so I'm guessing the remedy is to turn down the gain at the source?
