head scratcher for me. not sure what the next thing to check would be? it's only affecting the 6 lights on the one dimmer i just replaced so i'm stumped.

Throw a meter on the legs, curious what the voltage in is VS the voltage out. You may have a voltage drop in there.

The potentiometer may be getting stopped by the knob before it hits full power.
 
Did they ever give full brightness or is this a new installation that is not working as expected?
If it is new then you may have a wiring issue, like some bulbs connected in series or the combined wattage may be exceeding what the dimmer can handle.
