I have a stock bottom end and have a 175 shot on mine but I dont spray it every weekend, not even close and its also 2 stage, I'm not getting the full shot off the line....I would limit it to 150 if you do it on a regular basis 
My friend Mike has sprayed 200hp dry a few times but not every weekend. It's a stock everyday driver.
Don't think you can just throw a big shot on there without changing a few things though. He runs the engine cooler, cold racing plugs, and the tune is adjusted.

Up to a 2 stage 225 shot now. Up until this season I was going through atleast 15lbs a week at a 150rwhp shot, havn't had much time to run it this year though (I've been through maybe 100lbs at the most this season). This is my fourth year spraying the stock bottom end. 
Personally, nothing over a 100 shot if spraying a few times a week and want to have the best chance with the motor/tranny/rear-end lasting. My Z06 and my buddies Z28 have zero problems doing 100 shots for over 2 years, spraying whenever we wanted. BUT, even with a 100 shot nothing is guaranteed, something could go wrong with a weak rod bolt or even a solenoid may go bad. These are the risks with the juice.
Now that I have up'd the shot to a 175, I don't spray as often, but I have the $$$ put aside to go to a forged motor if I break something. If you can't pay watch how you play.

I have close to 150 passes this year, and this is with small med and large hits. Some single and some dual stage. My belief is that for a stock bottom end to live, we need to spread the torque out over the run (multi stg or progressive). I am trying for my 10.xx pass on the 23rd with an absolutly bone stock long block and don't even have headers. Like GM said, the tune, I have my own custom tune also tailored to my needs. I plan on this motor living a while. Third stage going on this winter, next year, deep into the tens on stock low end.
