Have you calibrated your system with test tones and a sound pressure meter so that they are all playing at equal volume? The size of the center should have little bearing on the clarity of the dialogue or how loud it plays...unless you're playing it beyond its limits.

Another thought: are you on axis when listening (directly in front of the center) or off to the side? If off to the side, try moving right in front of the center to see if that makes a difference.
