They should give a reason why it not available for other Macs?

here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/

"Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."

We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012.

those are the ones that are supported currently but it would be nice to know if they plan on making a firmware update for older macs that have a ssd. This is the best feature on mountain lion and to not use it just because apple whats you to buy a newer machine is just plan wrong.
