You can get a compressor/limiter for pretty cheap, but only if you have wires somewhere between the DAC and your speakers.

Most AV receivers feature an option to reduce dynamic range. It may be labelled as nighttime mode, as in trying not to distrub others.

If you're serious about watching movies you probably have some kind of (surround) receiver already, most of which have settings to tone down the dynamic range a bit (on my Denon it's called 'dynamic volume', acts the same as a compressor)
