In his case, the hardware is still the same, so if clipping was not happening with CD/DVD's, then it won't happen with (volume adjusted) Blu-Rays. This assumes similar dynamic range of the program material and the same nominal setting of the SPL level. It's not a "not optimal" configuration assuming you haven't violated a gain structure limitation in some way. Recommending expensive active preamps to solve a simple issue like this is what's "not optimal." :)
A software volume control like MPC or VLC or similar probably only has +6db maximum adjustment, so if peaks in the program material are below -6dbFS, it's impossible to generate clipping. This is not an uncommon gain structure issue even with audio-only program material. You can find numerous audio sources where peak levels are recorded well below 0dbFS and maximum settings of volume controls will not yield enough SPL. Normalizing and/or Replaygain are options too, but those require extra steps and complication.
