You dont understand... Normal propane tank pressure is about 120psi.... Once propane leave tank, it goes through a regulator and is reduced to about 1/4 psi for use with appliances such as stoves, ovens and water heaters and furnaces... This is normal for residential installation. This is what you have now.
This regulated pressure (1/4 psi) is a acceptable for some fuel/oxygen torches such as a Minor or Bobcat or a National 8m with SM 5 or SM 7 tip and many others.
HOT Head requires FULL tank pressure at 120 PSI to operate... It is
ILLEGAL to permanently pipe in propane into residence at this pressure. Also it is very
dangerous to do this from 500 gallon bulk tank...
A work around is use a small 20 lb. tank (BBQ style) and a long hose, 12-15 feet, that will allow small tank to be outside and torch inside.... This is a
temporary situation and must be removed (broken down) each time you finish torching session. The TANK must remain outside at all times and you can bring hose in through door or window but not through wall.

IF it becomes a problem to get bulk propane to HH, maybe its time to move up to fuel/oxygen torch.
