I think this is what is meant by "life barely worth living" in The Repugnant Conclusion: whatever the lowest quality of life permissible for life to be worth living. This is what you call "some bar for quality of life". The claim is that if everyone is above this quality of life, when the number of those living is sufficiently large enough, it is a better world than 10 billion individuals living amazing lives.
