COMMENTS
The new terms come from the paper by Zhou and Zhu. This sequence also contains n = 9223372034707292160 = 2^31*3*5*17*257*65537, which has the product of five Fermat primes (A019434). For this n, n/3 is a 2-imperfect number (A127725). - T. D. Noe, Apr 03 2009
From M. F. Hasler, Feb 13 2020: (Start)
By definition, n is k-imperfect iff n = k*A206369(n).
So a k-imperfect number is always a multiple of k, and up to the first odd 3-imperfect number (larger than 10^49, if it exists, see Zhou & Zhu (2009)), all terms are a multiple of 6. (End)

EXAMPLE
6 = 2*3, so A206369(6) = (2 - 1)(3 - 1) = 2 = 6 / 3, so 6 is a term.
120 = 2^3 * 3 * 5, (8-4+2-1)*(3-1)*(5-1) = 40 = 120 / 3, so 120 is another term.
