From what I understand, IF this holds and gay couples are sanctioned in Massachusettes, and IF the gay couple is from, say, Florida....

...Florida has to recognize the marriage....UNLESS...

...Florida is one of the 37 states that has already passed the Defense of Marriage Act...and therefore, would NOT recognize, nor under law have to recognize, these marriages.

Does anyone know which are the 37 states that has passed this law?

The Defense of Marriage Act in every state will be ruled unconstitutional if SCOTUS decides to expand on Lawrence.

There is only one way to stop this march and that is by Constitutional Amendment or by Congress passing a law telling the SCOTUS to stay the hell out of the marriage business which they are authorised to do under Article 2 Section 2 of the US Constitution.
