Top mixers seem to be running vocals much more prominently which results in mixes reading louder. Other than great parts and great arrangements, I think one basic recipe for loud sounding mix is:
High vocal level.
Bass and bass-drum dynamically controlled and placed just hot enough to support the vocal.
Snare dynamically controlled and balanced to drive but not compete with the vocal.
Rest of arrangement featuring upper mid-rangey tones placed just inside the above elements.
