We already do this when going above 100% volume. However we can't really do it in other cases because this would require knowing the comfortable volume levels for each output device, which isn't knowable. For example we can't distinguish between headphones and speakers plugged into a 1/8 minijack; they both show up as the same generic device. Therefore we would have to make the change for all devices including speakers, and this would cause users of somewhat quiet speakers to complain and file bug reports about it. :) So I'm afraid we can't do this, sorry.
