A few comments. You mention "power supply rating", but that is the rating of what the amp uses from the wall outlet. Just ignore that number, there is no way to say how efficient the amp is, only we know it will be less than 100%. You can't really get any useful info out of the 120V rating as far as power output.
Now, as to the RMS values given for various outputs, it will change depending on the load impedance. The RMS into the speaker is a function of the DC supplies to the output transistors. This will change depending on how much current is being delivered to the load. You won't get the same RMS into a 4 ohm load as you will into an 8 ohm load. This is because the power supply will "sag" when asked to deliver more current.
Look at the Bandit for example. 80W@8ohms. This works out to 25.3VRMS as stated. But they rate 100W@4ohms. Working backwards from that, you see this is only 20VRMS. This is because the power supply sags when asked to deliver more current.
The RMS value is a function of the DC supplies. Converting 20VRMS we get roughly 56V peak to peak. That would be the voltage available to the output transistors from the DC supplies at the time of measurement. So at full power into 4ohms there would be 56VDC between the + and - supplies, or +/-28VDC.
That is what you would measure at C72 and C87.
When the Bandit is running into the lighter 8ohm load, the supply does not sag as much. The 25.3VRMS works out to approx. 70.8V peak to peak. So there would be +/-35.4V at the supply rails at this time.
I hope this shows how the RMS voltage does not stay constant as the load changes.
So the Bandit will run higher supply voltages to the 2 transistors, that is why it can deliver more power than the other amp that has the same transistors. To get the extra supply voltages you need a bigger power transformer.
To run the transistors at higher current and power, you need better heatsinking to keep them from burning up.
