those aren't the only solutions, though.

what comes to mind primarily is multing the vocal and having an uncompressed or differently compressed signal coming in on another channel and riding that up when you need to get up and over the limits of the main vocal comp without getting clamped. even a vocal processed with a plug is fine, because you're not stepping on it too much and just a little bit of that second channel can give a lot of lift to the primary.

i use parallel compression all the time for that kind of extra juice, especially on vocal and snare.
