Under section levels. How accurate the wiki is though, is anyone's guess.

BTW. I've only seen 1 blu-ray so far out of about 35 that has had a max bitrate under the 40mbps of the spec.
And IIRC about 2 or 3 with max bitrates above 50mbps. The limit of level 4.1.
Your assumption is incorrect. A level specifies minimum necessary support. Any hardware spec can go beyond a strict level requirement, or throw levels out altogether, the hardware spec is the only thing that matters. The bluray specs aren't even public, so real VBV values required to even get a valid max bitrate for that purpose are only guesses at this point.
