Mine has a Saito 1.80, and another at my field has a Saito 1.50. They perform Ok, but I would not go with any less power.

RE: H9 73" Cap 232
I have flown them with 160 twins since they came out. They are fully aerobatic but not fully 3-d capable with the OS 160 twins. The 120 would be a rather mild powerplant for this airframe. Alsi the throttle response on the twins is not on par with the single cylinders of equal displacement. This adds additional challenges to manuevers such as waterfalls.
The picture is a 160 twin powered H-9 recovered in the SIG Breitling color scheme.

Do you think a OS 120 twin would be enough power for this plane.
