Hi sinusoids
I highly favour the multi-stage preamp and/or reduced preamp voltage approach rather than the use of a compression side-chain. However, if you are intent on doing the traditional compressor then the first attempt would be to wrap it around the preamp itself - both stages.
An alternative is to Power Scale the output. With Power Scale and Drive Compensation controls fitted, you can dial in the compression point of the output stage at whatever loudness you wish to play at.
Remember that just because you begin with a specific signal path, the number of ways to achieve that same sound is unlimited. This explicitly means that to attain a compressed tone does not require a compressor.
