Heating efficiencies are always calculated using heat loss data. Consequently, higher reservoir temps will lose more heat due to the greater delta.

However, I think you will find that hot water heater installers will always set the heaters at 140. That is the temperature that will kill the Legionaire's Disease pathogen. None of the service representatives or their employers want that liability.

You can get educated by using Google.
