Nick,
My understanding is that if you hit command-option-k several times, until the waveforms no longer shrink, you're at 'normal' magnification and you will get an accurate display of volume = waveform height. If you then hit command-option-l you get an enlarged view. I usually am more interested in actually seeing waveforms, rather than measuring levels, so I usually leave them enlarged.
Vertical magnification is memorized with the timeline view, so you can set up a magnification and then save a view so you can get back to it.

If I look at the waveform, in my standard(normal timeline view), (2 or 3 V trks and 4 A trks not to tiny, but not huge, I see basically a square wave. Open the same file in a "real" audio program, ie Audition, Sound Track Pro, waveform looks good. If I take the Avid timeline audio track and Command K it till it's almost full screen, then I see what looks like a normal waveform. Open the same file in DS and the waveform height seems relative to track height.
