Preset creators, can we agree on a common loudness ?
Short term, momentary, true peak, to each their own for pads, synths, drum, fxs, etc.
The volume difference when hunting for presets can be very high in the same plugin (or same preset pack).
Of course, some sounds are designed to sound quieter than others, but they could still follow a range.
I wish there was a standard !
Would it be possible to get everybody to agree ? (probably not, but I like dreaming 
)

Slap a limiter on the masterbus when browsing thru the presets
If everything was 'sausaged to be within certain limits' it would be like looking at flat medium grey painting with zero dynamics...
A limiter can change the sound quite a bit though.
I was also thinking of the lack of dynamics this could bring between sounds, but I think I'd prefer this over liking a bass preset that's louder than another one by 6db because... it's louder, lol. Maybe I'm overthinking
I think about this a fair bit. I usually have a limiter on master, and I agree that you can definitely lose some sound/dynamics in the sausage fest.
I've resorted to having a AU widget for each instrument that controls AU master volume. With most of the AUs I use, they update on preset change, so I can adjust up or down slightly with each preset i'm testing, without touching my gain or limiter
Cool, I could see myself doing this and saving the presets one by one with the adjusted volume
I try to remember to put a limiter with conservative settings on the master just to protect my ears but not to level the presets. Adjusting output level after I select a preset is something I do almost subconsciously now after decades of surfing synth and guitar FX patches.
But yes, it does irritate me a bit when a whole synth seems hotter or quieter than all the rest and I have to remember if the synth's master output is sticky between presets, or if I have to pull down the host's fader (which I prefer to do only during final mixing). That's a synth-by-synth issue rather than a preset-by-preset issue to me though.
If a synth has really hot or quiet outputs, normalizing presets means turning each and every one up or down and saving user copies of all the factory presets. Or if you don't, but you do normalize your own patches, then yours end up way different than the factory ones.
