The best tool I know of for judging lighting intensity in Poser is Bagginsbill's free Light Meter (see link). This will tell you if your lights are too weak or too strong very easily. Depending on which version of Poser you're using there are also useful tools like gamma correction and HSV tone mapping which can help.
Images displaying consistently across different setups is an issue. The other valuable thing that can be done by a lot of image editors is to save an image with a colour profile, the most useful one for web posting being an sRGB profile as that is common to just about all display devices. In effect it tells the device how the values in the image should display, so if you have a good range of values without clipping on the histogram, plus an sRGB profile, you've done as much as possible (without buying a hardware calibration device anyway) to ensure that what you see on your screen is going to be consistent on other screens too.
So yes, check your calibration, but I'd suggest trying that Light Meter too
