Yes, you could have gone higher, but you can just set the level above the usual, when you are recording. Use the music you are familiar with, and keep raising the level, until you start hearing the distortion, then back down a bit. But that's for your RGM tapes, the Maxells will not go that high.
Follow Ups:
When some of my recordings have slightly distorted and or saturated sounds for no apparent reason. I thought the tape was damaged or something until I lowered the recording input signal to a more acceptable level and voila everything snapped into place.However, some of the generic pancake tapes that I bought though I don't know who manufactured them probably from China seems to work well on higher recording level devoid of distortion and saturation in sound. Oh well, live and learn I suppose.

I reckon distortion is the produced by vibration of the cassette body, as I've been alluding to these past couple of weeks. Dynamic range and signal to noise ratio in audio systems are certainly constrained by internal or external vibration, that's one thing we've learned for sure in the last 25 years of so, for any medium, tape, CD, vinyl, whatever. Even the wires and cables suffer the indignity of vibration.
