I don’t do maxHR tests, but I’d say 191-195. 201 is probably a recording anomaly.
RHR is 51 this month.

My RHR tends to be low 50’s these days

Mine is crap 
I’m out of breath just walking the dogs.
Although having my maxHR as 126bpm makes any heart rate zone training somewhat difficult

Garmin will report mine around 50, but that’s when I’m asleep does that count?
Yes, it counts
I don’t wear mine in bed.
Drops to about 38bpm when I have done in the past “just to see”
Anyways, I don’t look at most of it now.
Power. Nah mate. It’s all about getting every road bike ride >=30kmh. If that destroys me, iDGAF. So long as I get 50kudos
Running? I just jog now 
Swimming? Completed it mate. 2021. Achieved “mastery” no more to learn.

If any of those max numbers are when using a wrist based HR I’d disregard them. My RHR is 47-50. Unless I’m training ALOT then it goes up to near 60 and I know I’m approaching overtraining.
If you were wanting to do zone2 run training I’d be saying 130-140 and/or just breath nasally (unless your sinus’ are fucked) But you’ve said you don’t want to so I’ll

For years I thought my max HR was 175 until the Zwift Tiny Race Series came along & I discovered it was actually 181 
That game somehow presses my buttons in a way the real world can’t. Genuinely feared for my life… haven’t been back

My RHR has never reacted at all to training, and never more than a couple of beats to illness, it’s 43-49 and going up to 50 if I’m really ill.

I’m not sure more than a few people know their max HR on this forum.
You increase load until HR stops increasing despite load continuing to increase.
All I have is a peak value.
or in the case of Bologna, increase load until HR is zero

Would be interesting if heat is part of the reason you see higher HR on Zwift. And if you are heat adapted when you return to the pain cave.

Haven’t actually used Zwift out here, but definitely seeing higher HR on the run in the heat.
eg. during tri last Friday, plenty hot, run HR went into 170s - near max- despite running at 4.30 min/km pace. Which is about 40 seconds/km slower than I’d hope for in normal temperatures. Think everyone found it hard, some of the bigger guys I know had to stop and walk (in a 5km). I nearly stopped too tbh. Definitely would have walked if it had been a training run.
Sadly not sure it helped much when back in UK in the summer

Such a protocol would lead to a “max HR” lower than my peak HR, that seems counter-intuitive?
Which lactate threshold is that?
I think you just need to get a stick to a good plan rather than always looking for the absolute optimal plan.
Low hr running definitely seems a bit high at 155bpm, most people it is in the 135-145bpm zone, it takes time for it to work but has done for me and a few of my training partners.
Sounds like you need to get your diet nailed, bulk cook some decent meals so you always have something good when you finish training or work late, helps avoid the temptation of eating crap if you have something nice ready in 5 mins.

Nailed it 
I did this. Just do progressive 400m repeats until you can’t do any more. Make sure you do them on leaf strewn paths, in the dark, as that makes the workout super spicy 
HR spikes when you slip.
Indoor cycling is WAY easier to get a higher HR.
Turn off the fans, you’re not going to fall off, you are already at home. Psychologically simpler test. Whack on the Zwift ramp HR test and off you go.
Great fun
