Either way you look at it you're going to have problems.

At 5,000 views a day, assuming every visitor loads the entire 135mb file, a CDN will cost you around $35 a day. If you purchase a large amount of bandwidth up front you can get that price down, but you'd have to drop a couple grand to save money.

On a dedicated server, you're going to have issues with slow load times. Network storage is slow, and when you have a ton of people trying to load the file all at once it's going to cause issues.

If you're making decent money off it I'd consider trying out a CDN at first. Or, you could consider a Cloud server solution that bills you by the hour and bandwidth, but that would probably be more than just using a CDN.

Other than that, consider adult hosts like VideoBam.

Regarding YouTube, I don't advise uploading explicit content and breaking any rules, but in theory, you could upload the explicit file, set the privacy to "Unlisted" and then embed on your site. Your chances of it being removed/flagged will be much less, and if it does you could consider re-uploading it, or having another one ready on another account to replace the one that got removed.

Good luck.
