Before Gnome Shell, with the old Gnome, the sound went to 100% visually but in reality it went higher. When I installed Gnome Shell the sound at 100% was much lower than it was before and the only way to make it higher was to go to the sound settings and put it above 100%. I think this was done for sound quality, but unless I jack it up all the way up to max the sound is fine. Maybe you could add the same look as in the sound settings, have a 100% line but if you want to go above you can.
