Actually Soniclife is 100% right. There's differences in the class D module in the 120 vs. the other models.
120: Low Power D-Amp with 1 transformer and 4 inductors per channel
Other models: High Power D-Amp with 3 transformers and 12 inductors per channel
Edit; I see thumb5 beat me to it while I was searching for the details!
Edit 2; this sums it up:
"The Devialet 120 is the least expensive product in the Devialet lineup which consists of the 120, 200, 400, 800, and 250. The model numbers corresponding to the unit's output power into 6 ohms. In terms of functionality, moving up the line also gets you more included inputs (including Line and advanced phono stage and AES/EBU) and a digital output. The 120 also differs from the 200 in terms of the ADC employed; the TI PCM4202 for the 120, and the TI PCM4220 for the 200/400/800/250. The 120 employs a "Low Power D-Amp with 1 transformer and 4 inductors per channel" while the 200 contains a "High Power D-Amp with 3 transformers and 12 inductors per channel".

And/but of course the differences are mainly artificial as in they don't reflect the difference in parts cost which are of course minor. But that's how this world and capitalism works!
