DVD sound vs VCR sound

I have had a DVD player for only a few months. Most of the time it seems that I have to turn up the volume on my HT receiver much higher for DVD movies, as compared to VCR movies.
Is this expected or typical with the DVD format? Is it because of the way the sound is recorded on the disc, as compared to a tape? Or could it be due to the processing or output from the DVD player?
My DVD player is a Sony DVP-S570D, and my VCR is an old Toshiba VCRPlus. I have a Harman Kardon AVR300 receiver, which powers all six speaker positions (line out to powered sub).
