How much IQ do you need to reach the genius writer level?

I recall reading that most great writers aren't genius-level smart, just above average. Pynchon supposedly has a 190 and you can definitely tell he is more intelligent than most writers.

I never really got this statement. Is it because he references scientific things? Is it the maximalist style that seems to mirror fast thought? To me, the genius of literature is shown more in the depth of thought within the book itself. Not to say that Pynchon isn't a deep thinker, especially in Gravity's Rainbow, but I'm not sure how his style is reflective of a special superhuman intelligence unknown to other writers.

Supposedly Gene Wolfe has a 210 and you can definitely tell he is more intelligent than all other writers.
Supposedly Anon has a 420 and you can definitely tell he is more intelligent than all other writers.
