Those engines revved to 9000 rpm or close to it.
Power = torque * rpm
There hasn't been any new tech over the past 10 years to give radically greater torque per liter, 75 lb-ft/liter is still about it.
So, 2.0 liters limited to 7400rpm, power peak at ~7000?
150 lb-ft * 7000rpm/5252 = 200hp, about all you can expect. Sounds like it's pretty well "tuned" close to the max from the factory.
