That's going to be tough in a 120mm fan. The only small fans I know of that get that kind of flow at 12VDC are the Comair Rotron 172mm fans, which go up to about 300cfm. However, that 300cfm is at zero static pressure, and the maximum static pressure is around 0.8. Also, those things are using 40 watts and spinning at 3500 rpm, so it will remove any body part that happens to come in contact with it.

They're also not cheap.
