I've never tried QMP3Gain but the description implies it uses the original MP3Gain algorithm.

Description

Graphical user interface front end supporting MP3Gain engine which analyzes and losslessly adjusts MP3 files to a specified target volume. A complete re-creation (made in QT4) of the original MP3Gain GUI, however it can be run on more platforms.



I'd say MP3Gain/ReplayGain works very well on about 90% of my music library.

Did you change the default target volume level?    i.e., If you increase the target volume (and if you don't allow clipping) you're not giving it as much room to work and it may not have any affect on many tracks.

MP3Gain (and ReplayGain, etc.) can't be "perfect" because different people will judge loudness differently...   It's probably impossible to match the volume of Metallica and Beethoven.     And, some songs are very dynamic with quiet parts and loud parts so you can't match the volume of  the whole song.
