Well, the WaveHammer it’s a Compressor+Maximizer packed in a 2-Stage processor. Audacity do have a Maximizer, but it is called “Amplifier” and a Compressor called, err, “Compressor”
Although, Audacity can load some LADSPA plugins (which are similar to VST ones) and you can use the “Barry’s Satan Maximiser”. Pretty nice, but if you tweak the knobs you’ll get a brutal overdose of maximization, and, we don’t want that, right?
So, the user can emulate the WaveHammer by doing a correction with a Compressor and/or Normalizer build in Audacity, and then apply the Amplifier or the “BS Maximizer” and get the sound by ear, but I think it’ll take time to do such a thing.
