The universe is at equilibrium in the sense that transitions from energy to matter and vice versa are more or less balanced at the scale of the universe. So the critical temperature of equilibrium between densities of radiation and matter in the universe writ large would appear to be well-approximated by the global temperature of the universe at any point in time except for those times near the Big Bang itself.
