The problem is that by default, not all light that hits will reflect 
(60% actually, the default value of diffuse in the finish is 0.6), and 
also that the light that hits the plane at a steeper angle won't 
illuminate it as brightly. The "brilliance" parameter controls this 
falloff...
Try this:
finish {
    ambient 0
    diffuse 1
    brilliance 0
}
