I built my rear wheel about 6 mths ago using DT Swiss 14G spokes, and they have remained true after more than 500km of riding, and I am no light weight at 95kg. I re-checked the spoke tensions after reading this thread and checked that the drive side is tensioned to 120kgf, and the non-drive to 85kgf. Are these typical tensions?

You should check with the rim manufacturer about your model of rim.
100 kgf right side rear and all front are more "typical". The left rear tension will be considerably less than the 100 kgf and is dependent on the hub and rim geometries.
You won't likely break spokes due to the higher tension, but you can crack the rim around the spoke holes with "too high" tension.
