if a  rotary spark gap is to allow the tank to charge at full potential of 
the  60 hz sine wave, then how does a spark gap of over 120 bps offer any  
advantage?



Using an NST, longest sparks are obtained at 120 bps with a proper
sized cap.  Using a non-shunted xfrmer (pig, PT, plate xfrmer,  etc),
then a higher BPS may pump through more power especially if
the cap is on the small side.  More power throughput gives  longer
sparks, up to a point at least.
