I've frequently noticed in anime seasons the title of a series or film will
have an English letter at the end of the title (for example: Dragon Ball Z,
Sailor Moon S)- what is the significance of the letter?

At least in the examples you've given, the letter helps differentiate a sequel
show, or later season, from the original.

For example, the original _Dragon Ball_ was followed by _Dragon Ball Z_ , then
_Dragon Ball GT_ , then it gets complicated but they remade Z in a condensed
form as _Dragon Ball Z Kai_ and now there's _Dragon Ball Super_.

For _Sailor Moon_ , the seasons after the first were _Sailor Moon R_ , _Sailor
Moon S_ , _Sailor Moon SuperS_ and _Sailor Stars_.

It's related to the practice of adding punctuation marks to a show's name to
indicate later seasons, as discussed [in this
answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/46338/what-is-meaning-of-
colon-in-nisekoi-second-season-name/46364#46364) with examples like
_Working!!_ to _Working'!!_ to _Working!!!_.
