Everyone is talking about how the 160W AC-DC can support much higher loads, and I was wondering if the 80W AC-DC can do higher loads, like 120W with cooling.

The 160W DC-ATX can go quite a bit higher, the AC-DC can't do much more than 160W.

Normally bricks can handle about 15% above rated load. I wouldn't recommend going a lot higher than this unless you want a dead brick. I know the 300W is being built with a substantially larger buffer in mind for momentary load, but I don't believe that feature was built into the 160W or 80W versions.
