Question is not clear; however, if you were to install a 120watt bulb into 90 watt rated socket then it may work for a while for some.
yet, even if it works then after a while will start burning quite often and the fixtures itself will be damaged permanently

Can you replace a 6 watt bulb with a 10 watt bulb?
As long as the lamp holder will take the larger wattage lamp and the current of the circuit is sized to take the larger current then yes, the lamps should be interchangeable.
Can you use a 5 watt bulb in a 4 watt light?
If the socket threads of the lamp are the same then yes the bulbs can be interchanged. The 5 watt bulb will glow brighter than the 4 watt bulb. If by a 4 watt light you mean a 4 watt fixture, then it is not recommended to place a larger wattage lamp in a fixture that is rated by the manufacturer at a specific operating wattage
Can you use a 150 watt light bulb in a 75 watt rated fixture?
Yes. The rating of bulb fixtures is there to discourage people from using bulbs that create too much heat. Obviously, a 75 watt bulb will produce less heat than a 150 watt bulb so it's quite safe to use the smaller bulb. If you overheat a lighting fixture you can cause premature failure and possibly even a fire.

Can you use a 75 watt light bulb on a lamp rated 60 watt max?
Usually the 60-watt limit is used to prevent the lampshade overheating, so a 75-watt bulb should not be used. But if more brightness is required, try a low-energy bulb because a 15-watt one gives the same light as a 75-watt incandescent (old-style) bulb. Or a 20-watt would be even brighter.
