Does amp output V decrease by adding gain stage?

My tube amplifier is low sensitivity, has high output voltage at 4V. I plan to add one or two gain stages to improve the amp sensitivity. The question is by adding gain stages will that results in lowering output voltage?

But a 4V output for an amplifier is very, very low. Perhaps you are talking about a preamp?
