It is because SD channels are stereo and HD channels are Dolby digital 5.1.

DD5.1 has a much wider dynamic range so in order for those channels to NOT destroy your sound system when very loud occurrences happen, ie like a explosion, the nominal volume must be lower. Most AV amps will have a system to manage dynamic range but most TV sets won't.
