+1 on the compression (compression is soooo addictive!) and limiting, but that depends on a lot of things, like style and who you ask it to 
Dynamic range is a long debate and some want to slam everything, some don't. This track's dynamic range is at 8. (Like a Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold, for example. Been there lately - Slash's Snakepit has a DR at 6, and Pittsburgh - The Amity Affliction has a DR of around 4. A healthy DR is from 14 upwards).
Sometimes I listen to (older) stuff and I wish it slammed more. Other times it's way too much, but some people find a balance somewhere in between, within a specific music style.
People make valid points here, great advice!
I'd say keep going back to your mix until you think you got it
