In mastering, i use saturation to add some depth and character to very sterile mixes that usually come from itb mixdowns.. I rarely use tape although it often does the trick and am more into a tube saturation workflow..
There are a lot of possibilities here but my favourite is probably the saturation of the Gyraf Gx compressor. It doesn't darken the sound too much and does actually increase the perceived volume by about 1db. I use it as the first compressor in the chain often without any gain reduction..
