I think it's just a design/presentation thing and has no technical meaning.
@Pim, the dB scale is a relative scale. 0dB equates to maximum output power. (With anything above 0dB digital amplification is performed but the "anolog" gain is still the same.) So whether the maximum output is 2 x 200W or 1x1000W in both cases it would be 0dB at maximum output.
