My extremely "heavy" plane has a Vapp of around 130 so nowhere near 150-155!
You also have to consider not just what the aeroplane is capable of but the individual companies stabilisation policy and a pilots understanding of it.
When I fly into Heathrow, Gatwick or Manchester it is not normally a problem for 160 to 5 or 4 as all you do is configure slightly earlier whilst maintaining the speed and then when reduction is required, you have the required drag out to help decelerate to Vapp.
However, it doesn't always work and when you have strong winds or a tech issue, it can not always be possible to comply with the often more restrictive stabilisation policy but all it takes is a bit of communication between controller and pilot. The lowest ground speed I have seen in an (empty) A380 with a strong headwind is under 100kts.
The sort of routine thing that used to take place with a cuppa on an airport standby.
