Hard drives don't know about partitions, the OS does.
So, to summarize: you have a have a 48-bit-LBA-compatible hardware
(and BIOS) to have a hard drive bigger than ~137 GB, and a compatible
OS to have a partition bigger than 128 GB. Right?

Wrong, the problem is with the size of the physical drive, not the size of the partition.

confusion and talk about bytes only.
Or just use the correct notations.
Anyway, I don't know any meaning of "GB"
That's your problem since the rest of us does (know).
that makes "137 GB" a technical limit.
It does.
The right figure is either 128
GiB
or 137.438953472.
137,438,953,472 bytes which in practical terms is 137GB, rounded.
