I think I've found a workaround.
After reading your comment I found out that Amarok's volume is reset to 100%
after an audio notification. For example, push shift+delete on a file. You'll
get an audio notification. The following track in Amarok will be at 100%
volume.

The workaround is:
1) in Kickoff search for "phonon". You'll find something called "audio and
video settings".
2) Go to the last tab, called "Backend".
3) Give "GSstreamer" a higher priority than "VLC".
4) Reboot.

Also see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324975#c91 for reference. I guess
it's somehow related to this bug.
