Your low output level using your Robbie is most likely related to the Robbie rather than the Kiwi. Having to turn the Robbie's gain up to 3/4+ just to get a decent level is an indicator that the pre's potentiometer is defective and needs to be replaced by BLUE. This was a very common problem with the early runs of Robbie pres - I had it too.

Go test your mic with another pre.
Great advice. I will follow those suggestions.
