A small displacement, high revving engine can't possibly have same output for torque and HP without the addition of boost. You only have to look at many different Hondas, Toyotas, and even the Mazda rotary for proof of this.
If you want 200 hp from a NA 2.0L, expect it to rev high, like 8000. Also expect the torque to be around 140-150.

I'm hoping the boxer will rev to 8,000RPM. I think it has to in order to be 2.0L. I would have loved for Toyota to use their own engine maybe a 2.0 2ZZ or a new S engine but that is just the purist in me.
