You only need heavy gauge wire for a high amperage circuit. There are NEMA receptacles for 240V 15/20A circuits, you could absolutely wire one up with the normal 15/20A wire and have it be up to code as long as you use the correct receptacle on the circuit. It might not be exceedingly useful in the short term, but with an adapter you could use imported European equipment at least.
