I count eight RFCs in the "Core Functionality" section. [0] I count ~26 RFCs in the "Strongly Encouraged Enhancements" section. [1]
The remaining referenced RFCs are:
* Experimental extensions to TCP
* IANA guidelines to follow when one is extending TCP
* Documents referenced only because of their historical significance
* Documents that provide implementation insights derived from TCP implementers' war stories over the years
Between eight and ~thirty-four RFCs is a damn sight smaller than "more than 150".
[0] This section is stuff that must be implemented to speak TCP.
[1] That section is stuff that improves the performance and/or security of TCP implementations, but is not required to interoperate with other TCP implementations.
