I don't know Final Cut (KK, Georgia, anybody?), but I would guess it's peak, not RMS.

Well, there is only so much we can discuss in terms of dB

The figures I gave you are from quick-checking some music cues in Little Miss Sunshine, Fight Club and other films I have in the timeline.
BTW, disregard the comment about imagining you're in a theater, I forgot you're doing a DVD.
