You have that power no matter what the mastering engineer does.
You don't however have the power to add dynamics, transients or clarity back to a recording that has been smashed.
Main thing with smashed mixes: after the first few seconds where it sounds "loud" the end listener will adjust their volume knob. After this a smashed track can often be perceived as softer than a dynamic one.
