I seem to recall in some TRF sets there being a Local/Distance toggle switch that removes the B+ from the first 24 rf tube screen grid, making it a triode, resulting in less gain. There's no automatic control in a TRF. I guess you could take up farming. :-) But you would need 9 kids like my great grandfather. That's a lot to take on just to get lower volume on the radio.
