Pulseaudio can do that.  If you launch the sound settings dialog, the
volume slider goes to maybe 150% (while volume control keys/the dropdown
slider from the applet only go to 100%).

Some applications such as VLC or mplayer can do that too (VLC out of the
box, mplayer if you enable -softvol and set -softvol-max to something
higer than 100).

I've also noticed that the integrated speakers of my T61 aren't as loud
as the ones on my T42 were.

Unix gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot.
