Just my thoughts on your question- second-guessing a recent purchase is unsettling. I have the D120, modest 2 way speakers that are about 86 db efficient, and I listen, sometimes, with a volume setting higher than -10. Getting beyond 0.0 is pretty hard, so I don't think I'm running out of headroom on the amp.
I really think that difference between the 120 & 200 is relevant at louder volumes and with less efficient speakers. It seems that you are not listening at head-banging sound pressure levels, and that you have fairly efficient speakers. I suspect that the extra 2K is better in your pocket than in a few extra watts.
