Question Maximum Magnification of Refractors

hey everyone, so my instrument is a modest 4 inch refractor that allows me to get good images up to about 200x magnification. So who's got the biggest and how big a magnification have they got with it?

A 16" should allow 800x mag has anyone got this far? Maximum Magnification of Refractors?
