It's not impossible, although the loudness wars are pretty much over nowadays. All major music services and players have volume normalisation, many by default, so there's not much point to it any longer.

Also it's pretty tough to find a decades old record still in mint condition, and the sound quality of vinyl gets worse every time you play it.

and the sound quality of vinyl gets worse every time you play it.

If you handle them correctly, it will not happen to any noticeable degree in any of our lifetimes or the following generations. It is durable material.
