Yes, the limit is how much heat can be taken out of the anode, especially. You can have more than one pair of electrodes feeding off a single set of capacitors, but the geometery becomes tricky. If there is too much distance between the capacitors and the electrode, you end up feeding energy into a magentic field outside the electrodes, and that will cut your current.
