Barbell Bench and Dumbbell Bench are not the same animal. Dumbbell relies on alot of muscle for stability, so typically you do less weight than barbell. My main point was that its impossible to say whether you should be lifting more or less. You lift what you can lift, someone saying that you should be able to do 100's on dumbbell bench won't make you able to do it.
Just to be the devil's advocate, what would you do if I said you should be able to lift 100s and not 70s? How would me saying that you should be able to lift heavier impact your training, progression and growth? (Hint: the answer is....nothing....to both questions lol)
