SNR and Dynamic Range... Myth??

This has been a debate between myself certain gear manufacturers and retailers...

Is it safe to assume that, under perfect conditions (balanced power, no radio interference, etc.) a unit can live up to it's published specs for noise and dynamics?

Example: If I grab a Mytek A/D rack, can I punch "Record", analyze the output, and really, REALLY just see the little bar floating care-free right around the -120dB mark? Assuming there is a device connected that has a SNR of at MOST -120dB?

Curious... Anyone?
