The question is not, 'how much HP can my stock rear take', but rather 'how much punishment can my stock rear take'.
Plenty of guys on here DD thier 400-600hp Supercharged LTX/LSX cars, and never have a problem.
On the other hand, guys with bolt ons and a cam are breaking the rear left and right because they have Drag Radials (or stickies) and take thier car to the track alot.
Having alot of HP does not mean your car is taking alot of punishment, it just up's the chances.
How long a rear end lasts has more to do with traction, launch shock, maintenence, amount of track time, etc...
