Yeah. But a lot of the YouTube videos seem to be somebody playing on an 
organ in their house or their local church, recorded using home video 
equipment. Clearly such equipment doesn't cope well with such loud, 
powerful sounds.

The CD recordings I've heard, on the other hand, usually sound just 
fine. Clearly the result of better equipment and trained professionals 
who know how to set it up right. ;-)

Many of the recordings sound like they're simply clipping due to the 
extreme volume.

Heh. Well yes. Like I said, I assumed that's why all organs seem to have 
at least 2 manuals on them - you you can configure them at different 
stops before you start playing...
