Max. landing weight for a -900 (not an ER) is about 66,000 kg. VREF30 for a landing weight of 65,000 kg is 151kt, and the total of wind, gust, shear, or ice formation additives may not exceed 20kt or flap placard speed minus 5kt. The flaps 30 limit speed is 175kt, so we were operating on the limit. Not every landing is like that, but a fully loaded -900 does land pretty fast in comparison with a lighty loaded classic.
And although the 737 is a cat C aircraft, we use cat D limits under such circumstances.
