What are you interested in? Cichlids? Catfish? Bichirs? Knifefish? Personable fish that will greet you? Aggressive predators that will snap food out of your tongs? Surface fish or bottom dwellers? Kitchen sinks or biotope setups?
You've got no shortage of options with that volume. Even if you want something totally unfeasible in a 150, like an RTC, there are smaller alternatives that behave similarly. If you have any preferences in mind, that would make narrowing things down easier.

You could definitely put some predatory fish together in a 150, not the tank busters like arowana/ giant catfish, but there are others. Lots of CA/SA cichlids are piscivorous, could probably mix some calmer species of crenicichla with something like Severums or Goldsaum / Green Terror. A lima shovel nose would probably be OK in a 150 for a long time if not forever and would mix well with SA cichlids. Be careful mixing any smaller elongated fish with the crenicichla though.
The fish that grow huge that he mentioned after “tank busters like…”
