Default Opinions on power loss/ SC300

I've got an Auto 92 SC300 that is bone stock. I've replaced spark plugs and fluids without fail for 14 years. 160,000 miles. When I get on it now, the engine sounds good and is revving just like it always has...but...I just don't get the torque or acceleration anymore. Is torque always compression ratio related, or could it be drive-line related (i.e. torque converter). I did do a compression check about 3,000 miles ago and got 180-190 across all 6 pistons.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
