Default Dumb Headroom Question

Does anyone know what the Headroom for the Master fader is for an LE system (002)? I know that I should know this.... but I don't. I've done mixes lately that make the red peak meters light up and it still sounds great. In other words how far can I push it?

It isn't so dangerous if you go into red sometimes...You should be worried, however, if every or nearly every transient (drum beat etc...) clips, that is detrimental to sound quality for sure. (Well, many "mastered" albums these days do exactly that...Sigh...)
