Your dad's machine has 32 gigs.
Even your machine has 128 gigs of old, relatively slow RAM, and you're probably not even using the vast majority of it most of the time.
If you want a high RAM ceiling, a single socket LGA2011-3 workstation is basically the replacement for your MacPro5,1.
If you're insistent on clinging onto these old computers, there's not much any of us can do to help you. Have fun.
