Starting Strength is fine, but would be even better if it was a shorthand in your comment for "training intelligently," as this would then include any progressive program involving compound resistance training and conditioning.
Not sure wtf I'd do with 120s. Too heavy to put overhead for much more than a rep or two unless you're an absolute animal. Too light for anything else, other than maybe bench I guess?

I am not presenting it as the sum of all knowledge and the one-and-only true anything." I would add that for the vast majority (95%) of the people going to a gym, Starting Strength would be an amazing improvement. My take is Rip isn't great at marketing or he could have had his program become a standard in most consumer gyms. I don't go to gyms any more, I put in a full Rogue squat rack setup at my place. Most of the people I used to see at gyms messing around with weights and machines are wasting their time and, in some cases, getting hurt. You see the same people week after week lifting the same weights (badly) and going nowhere.
