I must admit, it feels strange to me too that people restrict their level to 120 specifically. There is no official disadvantage from levelling up, indeed, it is necessary to user better weapons. However, the higher level you are, the higher level any phantom (be they friendly or invaders) will be. That would be the only "disadvantage" I could think of.
