There's a soft-clip circuit or limiter in the signal path. It would be set to only spring into action very close to 0dB.
0dB on the meter really isn't 0dB, but maybe a few dBs lower. I've seen peak levels levels on cassette tapes that I've recorded show up above and below my decks meter reading when played back on other tape decks.
