I have a consumer grade Panasonic receiver that uses dB for the volume control. I think it is very cute, although it must seem totally baffling to the average person IMO.
While I don't pay much attention to it, I do think that 0 dB is it's MAXIMUM output and everything else is an attenuation (from MAXIMUM output with NOMINAL 2 volt p-p input).
As Einstein already stated, it's all RELATIVE!
(see, I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore!! Maybe, this link has more info.)
It would be interesting to verify just how that logarithmic scale functions, but with a consumer grade audio device, there's basically a just right volume, otherwise all you do is expose the nonlinearities inherent in the equipment.
