Two calibration habits worth having, because judgement develops much faster with a reference than without.
Compare against work you admire, at the same size, side by side. Not from memory. Open a photograph you think is beautifully handled next to yours and the difference in restraint is usually immediate and slightly humbling.
Compare against your own edits from a year ago. This is the one that tells you whether you are drifting. If your recent work is consistently louder than your older work, that is not development, that is adaptation: and it is exactly what you have described.
A couple of technical things that make this measurable rather than subjective:
Check your screen brightness and the room. Editing on a very bright screen in a dark room produces images that are too dark and too contrasty everywhere else, and it is a common cause of the a-week-later effect.
Look at the histogram for clipped shadows and highlights. Not a rule, a lot of good photographs clip deliberately: but it tells you when a decision was made accidentally.
Look at it on a phone. Most people will see it there, and it is a different rendering from your monitor. Things that are subtle on a calibrated screen frequently look heavy-handed on a phone, which is where the audience is.
