Can non-boiling heat sources, say 150F water, be used in a heat pump to concentrate the heat, boil water, and turn a steam turbine?

I know heat pumps are always claiming something like 300% efficiency.

Question is, does the power output from the steam turbine exceed the power input to the compressor?
