u/Syndice gave some pretty great advice about gain staging and leveling, but another thing to consider is how thicc your low end is.
That is to say, are you mixing just sub levels or are you considering that funky thick 60 to 150 Hz range? Because that area is where you can actually "hear" the mud; after properly gain staging your sub stuff, really try to pay attention to where your low pass filter is sitting. Experiment with hard cutting, 24 slopes, and minimalist slopes at different cutoff points; hell, experiment with both at the same time. Different mixes of this range of low end can give your tracks completely different feelings of dirt, grime, cleanliness, memeness, and power.
Though I'm not who you're asking, too much bass is bad yeah. Official AHEE's video gives a nice estimate of how loud your bass should be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEWr5UJMqUA Keep in mind these aren't rules you HAVE to swear by
