How to Improve Gain for RCA on Preamp. Can it be done?

Thanks for the help. I am using a MM cartridge. My TT connects to a 90’s luxman integrated receiver with phono stage (not bad actually) but I could not for the life of me find the phono output (or figure it out). This is the closest I could find ...

Best Server To Run Roon Core
Get a roon endpoint.  Raspberry pi is your starting point but with a small upgrade to include a well designed HAT (hardware attached on top) you are one step from unbelievable sound at a great price. For me, the PI2AES was the way to go and beat m... 
XLR or RCA for my new DAC
I use XLR with my Schiit Freya Plus preamp (DAC --> Schiit via XLR).  I tried RCA but XLR yields a higher gain and that was the deciding factor for me.
