Is a torque wrench required to install BB?

Do I need a torque wrench to install a Shimano Hollowtech II type BB, or can I just get by with a tool like the ParkTool BBT-9? Note that I have a small torque wrench that goes up to 16 Nm (~140 in-lb) for use elsewhere, but not one that can be used for a bottom bracket.

What about some of the other BB/Crank systems, specifically Calmpy Ultra Torque, would I need a torque wrench for that install?
