I understand the issue you're experiencing. But the thing is, recordings strive to achieve high FIDELITY to the original performance. That means fidelity to all aspects of the music, and one of the aspects of classical music is wide dynamic range. So I don't think it makes much sense to criticize recording labels for doing their jobs. It has never seemed to me that classical recordings actually exaggerate dynamic range.
I wish I knew how to solve your problem, but the only solutions I can think of are some kind of dynamic range compression or remote control of volume, as others have suggested. Maybe headphones, too.
(Side note: I don't think most composers aimed for "easy and relaxing" in composing their works. So that, too, kind of hampers reaching your listening goals.)
