120 is correct. If you are really interested, have a look at these two posts of
Guido Antonelli (author of tbe GAFS library - an alternative to Nalimov TBs):

I also had some private conversation with Guido, where we discussed some easier
formulas to calculate the number of different TBs. Perhaps I can still find it.
I wanted to write an article about it here in CCC, but did not find the time. I
believe, I guessed more or less the formulas, and Guido could prove it.
