The problem asks for the peak (or maximum voltage), Vmax. You're given Vrms, the variable EEs are accustomed to working with.
Vrms (or any rms value of a continuous set of numbers from time T1 to T2) is defined as:
The formula that relates the two is Vmax = sqrt(2)*Vrms. So in this case Vmax = sqrt(2) * 125 = 177 V.

It's a trick question. They want to know the PEAK voltage not the DC voltage. You solved for the DC voltage. The peak voltage is what @BirdGrave has said. 125Vrms * root(2) = 177V.
Careful when reading those problems.

The output at AB is not going to be 3 phase, it is going to be either one of the single phase, so yes then the peak to peak of that one of the single phase will be 125Vrms * root(2) = 177V.
