Default Volume and dynamic range question.

Hi all. Here's a question that came to my mind recently while listening to my
stereo. Let's say i set the volume knob to #3 for example. What loudness of
the music does this represent? It seemed to be set to a particular level, but
when a dynamic peak of the music came along, the volume increased accordingly.
So, what does a #3 setting mean? Is this the maximum volume level the music
will play at? If so, why do short term dynamic peaks sound louder? -Bob
Bernstein.
