May I ask from where you get those numbers!? To me stating any maximum damage seem inappropriate as it differs immensely from type to type.
Of course this powergaming in the most extreme and best possible circumstance but here goes.
Character: 20th level Fighter, wielding a mercurial greatsword (dam 2d8, crit x4), and using Whirlwind Attack and Great Cleave, having Expert Tactician. Flying. Face in 3D 5x5x10 feet.
Circumstance: Surrounded by 140 Bats (Tiny, up to 4 creatures in a cube, even cubes occuppied by others) and a flat-footed great wyrm dragon (or diety, or similar).
Whirlwinds all the Bats and for each bat gets a cleave attack against the large critter followed up by whirlwinding and gaining an extra attack from ET to the large critter, a grand total 282 attacks.
Oops. (Sligthly undercalculated it the first time)
Each attack will do 2d8, and 8d8 on critical hit (happening 92% of the time) 564d8 worth of damage (half against the dragon) 2256d8 if all attacks critted (again half against the dragon).
There wasn't that simple.
Now that is not going to happen every day. But I could probably make a totally viable smack calculated on avarage numbers that did more than 1000 points of damage in round.
1000 point of damage should minimum for any smack anyway since that is what Creeping Doom does and that is a 7th level Druid spell.
