120g tank, wood stand/canopy, sump, water and rocks is about the limit on weight I would do without checking the floor for structure unless it was a concrete floor.
I had a 180g tank, wood stand/canopy, water and rocks but no sump on a second floor with no reinforcement BUT I did check my floors and the joist were 12" apart vs 16" and the tank was set in place perpendicular to the floor joist and against an exterior wall.

So even with these differences, I eventually did notice the floor area in front of the tank start to creak after about 5 years which leads me to believe that a little reinforcement should have been done regardless.

Yeah i would be careful. Check what type of floor you have where you are putting tank
