compand and mcompand can do it in sox natively. They're a bit
tricky to learn but fmiser wrote some great posts:

https://public-inbox.org/sox-users/20090829011522.cf27e6ee.fmiser@gmail.com/
For simple cases or a final pass after compand/mcompand; I like
tap_limiter from the TAP-plugins LADSPA package:
sox $IN $OUT ladspa -lr tap_limiter -4 3.5
(limit to -4dB, add 3.5dB gain)
http://tap-plugins.sourceforge.net/
I usually use compand or mcompand for recordings which need a
lot of correction. tap_limiter is good for recordings which
only need a little correction, or after everything else (EQ,
compand/mcompand, etc...)
