Beginning in 2036, Wikipedia editors will obtain the right to demand either payment for their contributions, or in the alternative if the Foundation can't replace their edits with non-infringing substitutions, between $750 and $150,000 per edit.
I suppose editors always have the right to demand payment for their contributions if that's what they really want. But as to the idea that they could further threaten to get statutory damages imposed, I'd advise that rather than relying on selective quotations from 17 USC 203, they at least review the entire section. I note that it also provides a limitation on the effect of termination, specifically that derivative works prepared before termination may continue to be utilized.
