If you can reach that limit with a STD Engine depends on the loadout you want to have.
But, for example, the 0XP with 4 ML, 1 x AC20, 4 tons opf ammo and ECM, Ferro-Armor, Endo-Steel, can fit a STD 320 with two double heatsinks.
Edit: ninjad too, but my post has much more useless info!
Actually, I think you bring up a good point; I had only thought of what the actual max engine possible would be, but ignored what kind of weaponry you'd actually be able to bring with it. I think between 300 and 325 is where you'd have wanted to be before the skill tree, to keep a uniform speed from the other 70 ton mechs that IS tends to bring (Warhammers, Grasshoppers), but post-skill tree patch might be more conducive to slower mechs, it's hard for me to say just yet.
