have you tried to change the toroid to get the same voltage as it was
at the 120 bps?
Have you seen this:

The second table of results- headed "DC Link voltage kept constant"-
will have roughly constant toroid voltage too. However, the voltage
may have sagged a bit at the higher breakrates due to there being
more ionisation around which loads the coil more heavily. I can't
think of any other reason the bang energy would fall while the DC
link voltage was kept constant.
These results are from a "Man's Best Friend" but I think they may be
relevant to spark-gap coils too. The conclusion is that lower
breakrates are much more efficient. But I agree that they don't
produce the most "great" looking sparks.
