In /etc/asound.conf you can change the brightness
And the decay_ms and peak_ms values which I am unsure of there use but may be relevant to what you are trying to do.
There is more info here:

currently it’s not possible no. I think there is a rough plan, but currently we’re ironing other things, so no ETA I’m afraid.

As a stop-gap, it might be worth adding “vu_scale” as a user option. Certainly not ideal, but in the short term it should help a lot.
