I would do the Oscar or a green Terror with the Firemouths. I had no luck keeping texas with my fire mouths. They did fine for a while and one day flipped a switch. I have had luck with both GT and Oscars with my Firemouths, at different times of course. Firemouths are a beautiful fish and can defend themselves against like sized fish but will easily get torn apart by larger cichlids.
I think you made a good choice with the FM they are amazing to watch in a group.

I have a 150 with a bumble bee oscar (orbicularis) yellow acara , honduran red point and green phantom pleco.
The wolf wouldnt mix well with some of the other species you mentioned.
Red severum are nice
Maybe cryptoheros sajica

The Oscar would eat the swordtails and tetras eventually.
Firemouths get very aggressive when they spawn. They might kill the dithers as well.
Unfortunately, I think the Jack Dempsey and Texas cichlid would also kill the smaller fish too.
How about go the Malawi route? Red Empress and a few other haps, a few peacocks and then if you want some smaller fish, a few Cynotalpia Afras.. You can throw a few Syndonitis in too.
Or you could do a Tang tank .. I'm not an expert on that, but I think you could do a few featherfins and have some smaller Tang cichlids in there. But please get advice from someone else to verify.
The recipe quoted above will not work thoug.
