Open your image, do what ever is required. 
Use Image -> Print Size. Set the units to pixels/in (if required, some will have pixels/mm) Change the x resolution and y resolution to 300.
Save as a Gimp .xcf file or Export as a png to retain the transparency. Make sure Save resolution is ticked in the png export dialouge.

When I wrote my request to you, I omitted to tell you that I also checked "Print Size", where I set 300 DPI and then followed the steps you described.
But I got the same result.
The resulting image was still 120 DPI.

What tells you that the image is still 120DPI?

That it is not 300 DPI?
