Definition of "handle", please :-)
Anyway, you're probably right, Mike. But how comfortable do you feel in terms of rating the MTBF (mean time between failures) of a linear supply being fed 126 volts all day, every day, over time, versus 120? If the supply is rugged and well made, perhaps they are equivalent. But heat does take its toll, and I wager the internal temperatures will be measurably higher at 126 than 120.
