I do dumbell benchpress and im currently lifting a 70 pound dumbbell in each hand for 140 pounds total. How would this correlate to barbell benchpress? Im doing starting strength and im not doing barbell bench because I go to the gym alone and have no squatter.

Just see for yourself, if it's too much then just go lighter

I'd like to know your source or whether you are spewing out numbers. It definitely is more though, OP. Free weights are usually harder than anything.

Im not really interested in ever doing barbell, I like dumbbell's. Just curious to see how it stacks up.

Don't know, but I also do almost exclusively dumbbell presses, supplemented with dips. I use 90s, and I don't know what my max bench is, because I almost always work out alone and can't be bothered to ask for a spot when I can just use dumbbells.
