There's no practical limit on the number of applications - as you said, the limiting factors are primarily throughput and the number of connections, and what platform you have.
I believe the correct numbers for a 6400 are:
44Gb/s switch capacity (layer 2)
220000 Layer 4 requests/sec
75000 Layer 7 requests/sec
3.5Gb/s max throughput
8 million max concurrent connections
20000 max SSL transactions per second (using SSL offloading)
These numbers go much higher on the newer platforms.
