I appreciate the lack of compression in most classical recordings. And varying loudness for dramatic effect, to a point. But I personally don't see the artistic merit of blowing people out of their seats with large dynamic swings, especially when they are sudden. It's a turn-off for me, so I don't enjoy the symphonies from romantic composers as much as other classical works.
I also understand the WAF problem. I cannot play a recording of a full orchestra at concert volumes when my wife or kids are around. So introducing my kids to a piece like Also Sprach Zarathustra or Beethoven's 9th requires riding the volume control.
