4mg of Valium is a sub-therapeutic dose, 6mg is usually the recommended minimum. 10-20mg is more typical, so it's small wonder you feel nothing at that dose, especially since you'll already have some tolerance from past benzo use. Are you sure you're not taking 40mg?
I've felt euphoric on all benzos at some dose. All benzos activate reward pathways in the brain, but perhaps some have greater affinity for the reward pathways than others, requiring a higher dose to achieve the same effect, and as with all drugs individual sensitivity varies.
