Yes, I can see that a headphone amplifier would provide a solution. I've been trying to come up with an alternative, but nothing obvious springs to mind.

You are correct in assuming most desktop headphone amps accept input via 2x Phono (RCA) connections, which you would normally connect via the tape loop. The tape out on the loop is essentially a pass-thru from the tape input, which I understand the dock must be connected too, so it would make sense to drive an amp from this.
