Out of curiosity, I reproduced these results and added more tracks... I agree the practical headroom limit is infinite, but I found a theoretical limit of the headroom seems to be equal to the minimum master fader value of -144dB.

Having to disable auto-mute and apply +144dB of gain to something (anything) makes me not want to test any farther, but I assume if there's a way to increase the minimum fader value, that would likewise increase the theoretical headroom...

Just a side comment
