I have a 200 and my Raidho C-1.1s are 88dB. Since the latter firmware updates the temperature on my is pretty rock solid, never peaking above 42C. I do have to crank the volume up though, -10dB is typical with rock or even up to +5 to +10 with with some classical recordings, and this isn't at ear-shattering levels. I think some of this is down to my USB source though. I don't need such high amplification with my phone source for instance.
Your 200 does have a bit of air around it and not on top of anything hot? Those temperatures do sound excessive and mine never got that hot even before the temperature-regulating firmwares. From memory I think 63-64C is the max temperature Devialet customer service thought was 'normal'. I'll check my emails as I'm sure I asked them fairly recently.
[edit] found it - Devialet said 'the heat can go up to 67C without any damage'.
