I while ago I discussed this very question with Devialet's Mathieu Pernot. His answer was along the lines of "the 200 is on the limit, the 250 is not". Another related question is why did the 7.x series firmware give the 170 an extra 30 watts, and the 240 only 10 watts.
One other thought occurs to me, and that is that there are very many examples of stereo power amps that deliver more than twice the per channel power when switched into mono block mode.
So maybe the question is why doesn't the 200 deliver more than 400 watts when in mono mode? Perhaps the answer to this is quite simple, it would overheat.
