Instead of a multi tapped output transformer, one could just reduce the gain of the amp, and compensate for the higher gain at higher compression ratio with a PAD between the output transformer and th eoutput attenuator.
This will loose some overall gain, of course. (10dB to be precise.)
You can get 6dB "back" by using a bridget T attenuator instead of the ladder attenuator.
Here's a drawing that shows the idea:
