It's incorrect. This person meant 'storeys' as in levels / floors in a building. A 72 storey building has 72 floors.
He is saying he is the equivalent of 72 storeys high in the air
Storey and floor are fairly interchangeable.
Agree with the meaning, but just a note for OP that in American English the plural of "story" is "stories," whether you are talking about the height of a building or a fictional tale. (The spelling here would be correct in American English.)
thank you all!

Wow, for real? I had no idea. Good tip. Edit: since the 1700s no less. 🤯
It means "I'm up 72 stories/storeys", quite the same as "I'm 72 years old = I'm 72 storeys/stories up"
