In order for scale factors $kappa_{V}^{}~(V=W,Z)$ of the 125-GeV Higgs boson couplings to have the possibilities of being greater than unity and $kappa_{W}^{} eq kappa_{Z}^{}$ while keeping the electroweak $rho$ parameter unity at tree level, the Higgs sector must be extended with at least two exotic $SU(2)_L$ multiplets in addition to the doublet Higgs field in the Standard Model. By the requirements of perturbative unitarity, no Landau pole in gauge couplings, and no accidental global $U(1)$ symmetry, we exhaust all the possible combinations of two exotic Higgs fields and derive general formulas for $kappa_{V}^{}$. We find that the current central values $kappa_W^{}=1.12$ and $kappa_Z = 0.99$ reported by CMS can be accommodated in the model with a complex and a real Higgs triplets as the simplest example.
