How much does the TOEFL score matter?

I’m applying to MIT, Stanford, Harvard and Caltech. I was wondering how much my TOEFL score, as an international student, matters given that it is above the requirement (which is around 100). Do admission committees give more “credit” to a slightly higher score (say 115-120 instead of 100)? Or they just check that the candidate has at the least the minimum required?
I’m also taking the SAT and the SAT Subject tests, for which there’s not a requirement and I know that the higher the score, the better the chances of getting in.
