I know what you mean, but there has to be another word besides "dynamic". There is nothing changing here. I suppose just plain range would be sufficient, or perhaps latitude.
When you get more bits in a scanner, it's unlikely that you get more latitude though. The maximum number is always the machine code for maximum brightness and 0 is off - no light emitted from your screen for that color. What you should get is more resolution in the brightness scale.
