If you don't hear any noise or distortion, the position of your volume control probably doesn't matter. With my tube preamp, noise was quite audible until I attenuated the signal into my power amplifier. The noise didn't change with my preamp's volume control setting but when my amplifier's input attenuators were turned down, the noise became inaudible at my listening position regardless of my preamp's volume control setting.
I don't think it's necessary to make any voltage measurements. As long as you don't hear excessive noise or distortion, you are probably in very good shape. Just enjoy the music.
Best regards,
