Pritish, I've now watched some of the videos that you play in. With respect, I think that you could easily play louder by simply trying to play louder!! It may not be your style, it looks like you prefer to be laid back, discreet, more lyrical than brash, but nonetheless you could push more air through that clarinet. The trumpeter/cornettist is always going to play loudly, but I didn't get the impression that the alto saxophonist or even the drummer played all that loudly. Perhaps you are a little intimidated by the exuberant energy of one or more of the other members of the band, perhaps a little intimidated by the naturally greater volume of some of those instruments, but I reckon you could keep up with a bit of push. Whether your mouthpiece and reed can adequately sustain extra push is up to you to determine, personally I really think going up a half-strength with your reed would help (and that might need a mouthpiece change, don't be dogmatic in ruling that out).
Best wishes! You've got the skills and in time you'll work out other issues.
