The following really got me playing with high volume. Play a two octave scale as loudly as you possibly can. Take a breath between each note. Try quarter notes equaling mm.110.At first you will get a very unpleasent sound and you will tire after only one or two scales but don't worry about it. Right away you will notice your embecure and stomach muscles getting sore, this is natural. Build up time slowly. Eventually you will find you are able to play with greater volume longer. You can use the exact same excercise only play as softly as possible with a good sound. This will help your pianissimo playing.
