That's not ideal.
You should first calibrate your sources to output the correct levels and only then calibrate the projector.

But that's generally not even possible.

Other than an HTPC (and a video processor - which isn't really a source), you can't adjust output levels. At least I've never seen it. You can't do it on the PS3, satellite boxes, cable boxes, or any Blu-ray or DVD player I've ever seen.

What sources are you using that allow you to adjust the output level?

I guess a well set-up CRT with decent tubes shoud end up after calibration with brightness values somewere between 40-55 and contrast 60-75.
When not the case, the PJ may not be in good shape, the tubes are worn, raster size is not ok or simply your screen is to big.
I also belive that for a punchy 3D-like image, a screen width should never exceed 90 inch (230 cm) even for a 9 inch machine.
Again, that's just my opinion, i'm not a calibrator. People with more experience could have another meaning.

I hate to be a bubble buster but why is most 9inch machines able to work great with a 100+ inch screen?
I know as my nec 10pg is like that
