There must have been a problem with the transmitter then, as most
mobiles don't run 200W and the receivers on both the repeater and the
mobiles can be easily matched uV for uV. In fact, it's easier to get
more sensitivity out of the mobiles since they don't have to worry about
duplex concerns, so the mobiles should be able to hear better than the
repeater (which would require LESS power out on the repeater for equal
signals).
All the antenna gains and feedline losses are exactly equal in both
directions, so that factor cancels out. The only items left are the
transmitter powers and receiver sensitivities. With the repeater TX
being so much higher, it should easily out-talk a 25-100W mobile coming
back.
