That is what Gamma does.. making everything brighter =)
Gamma is just the value of your middle gray tone.

So if you want to change this for your rendering, I suggest you do
this after the rendering with fusion or photoshop etc.

You can use gamma and Gain settings in a Compositing tool
to change your Exposure btw. the Light intensity of a HDR if this
is what You mean. (At least your Compositing app must be able to
read HDR´s like Digital Fusion does)
