Damned Fletcher Munson Curves!

Hello there,
I play mostly at bedroom levels, and that´s OK, but sometimes I like to crank my amp a little, when I´m alone at home...
All those creamy excellent sounding patches suddenly turn like a can when I raise the volume, and I know this is a well known phenomenon, as the title says...
But the question is... is there a general criteria to equalize the low level sounds to keep them sounding good at high volumes? I can see by my experience that for example, treble is raised when you crank the amp, so high level patches need an adjustment on the Highs... but I don´t know exactly which frequencies need to be adjusted.
It would be nice to hear some experiences from expert people...
Thanks!
As a general rule, just boost your mids, when you turn up the volume.
Isn´t it better to lower down the highs and the Lows?
Makes no difference. All eq adjustments are actually cuts. Boosting mids is accomplished by cutting highs and lows then amplifying the whole signal
