S ranking is nothing special in DMC 1. Quite easy to get.
if you want to go for the no Damage runs you'll looking at SB. Which is an S rank with bonus score for taking no damage. Those bonus scores nets you an extra 2000 red orbs.

It has a degree of leniency. If you take no damage, then that does a lot for your score. If you take massive amounts of damage, then the opposite is true. You have other ways to make up for damage taken, such as completing it quickly, killing all enemies, and obtaining lots of orbs.

You can check this FAQ page for a pretty good breakdown of it:

So to take "S" can I get it even taking damage? In other words, what is the game based on to get "S"?

Yeah, it's a balancing act between time, damage taken, and red orbs.

That means you didn't do as well with orbs or time.

The time was 6:20 minutes the first mission.

Then you were short on the orbs. If the source is accurate, you need to aim to go over the orb threshold for that level, which is 400.

You can earn extra Orbs by revisting rooms. Enemies respawn non-stop.

Don't expect to get a S ranking with a new game. Just enjoy the game, And try to attempt it once you've beaten the games at least one time. Tip Ifrit is very good with for stylish points and orbs, since it deals great damage on slower enemies ;)
