The problem is that if you are recording the distributed disc, you are on
the hot seat when it comes to head room.

Normally, I record with a minimum of 10 dB of headroom, but those tracks
don't make good listening without some processing and leveling.

If they don't make good listening, it's not because there's 10 dB of
headroom, it's because the performance wasn't consistent, or you
weren't riding gain to keep the level reasonably constant. (or dozens
of other reasons why we "produce" or "master" to make accurate
captures of a performance sound more palatable to the listener)
