It would be interesting to know what the real torque specification is, as opposed to 1/4 turn past snug or so as I usually do.

Correct. 7.3L Godzilla has cast aluminum heads and a cast iron block.
Cleetus McFarland has some good videos showing the Godzilla with one of their project cars.
Its a beast!

In the Super Duty, the 7.3L is very very easy to access items like spark plugs. You can also very easily access the exhaust manifolds.....soooooo much room in the engine compartment with the 7.3L. It actually looks kinda small in there! A push rod V8 is just so compact vs the SOHC 6.2L or DOHC 5.0L (Mustang, F-150) that I'm used to working on.
I've got a 7.3L Super Duty and absolutely love it. I do all my own maintenance.

I stopped at a Ford dealership and asked for the torque specs for the sparkplugs, he looked it up and showed me that it is 133 inch pounds.

133 in-lbs is 11 ft-lbs. Sounds about right.
