I'd say anything over 300 lbft is risking it

That sounds like a wager to me!

Seriously though, I'd say that a big factor here is the fact that the gearbox is already 12 years old and (x) many miles. I think this may be a case of "hope for the best, expect the worst"

Have a word with David at APi for advice.

That's a real ' how long is a bit of string?' question. At that age, I would not expect it to last long on any great increase in power or torque from standard.
