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.

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 gets 85 lb-ft/liter but that relies on Porsche tech from the RSR. It is possible to get more than 75 but it costs $$$.
