Hi Strelok
By "kit" do you mean you are following the schematic shown in actual kit notes? Or are you speaking loosely referring to the TOT reverb project?
The REV kit has no more overall gain than the fender reverb block.
The Tonnes of Tone Reverb project has extra gain for the reverb driver because it must use a guitar-level input signal instead of a line-level signal as the references above have. Overall gain one hopes to be about unity BUT the dry path is tapped from a tube cathode and may actually be weaker than the raw guitar signal. Fortunately, most guitar amps including all classic fenders have excess gain to accommodate low-output pickups.
Have fun
