AmiSSLv2 and MiamiSSL both support 128bit encryption. The error message reported on these sites are, in 99% of the cases, bogus. The site often checks what your browser identifies itself as, and also what features it supports. If it doesn’t support feature “xyz”, then it’s usually assumed not to be IE or Netscape, and therefore can’t possibly support 128bit encryption, which is of course rubbish. Sometimes spoofing as a different browser will help this, sometimes it won’t.
