Is there any way to compress marked files using tar instead of gzip
when using Z in dired mode? without using M:!?

AFAIU using gzip is hard-coded in `dired-compress-file'.
I didn't understand what you mean by "M:!" (maybe "M-!" for
shell-command), but if you want to create one tar file from marked files
you can use:
! tar -cf out.tar *

And if you actually want to compress the resulting archive as indicated by the
subject: ! tar -cZf out.tar.Z
or: ! tar -czf out.tar.gz
