I can increase the volume above 100% in Sound Settings, but the drop
down slider is limited to 100%.  I believe this is due what
what-is-more-than-max can be a channel dependent issue - in Sound
Settings you are adjusting the volume of the selected channel.

I use this regularly to be able to hear podcasts over the sound of the
dish washer.
