There was an article in an astronomy magazine in french about the maximim mass for a rocky planet. It was something like 7 times the earth's. Well, it was just a theory, I don't remember where I read it and if it was 7 times; but it wasn't a big figure.
It has to do with the amount of debris a rocky planet can collect at a specific orbit.
