Depends on spider, motor strength, surround etc.....just the coild can't give you a for sure power handling.

anywhere from 0- a metric shit ton.

VC diameter by itself means only that the VC has that diameter. It doesn't speak to anything that has much to do with power handling.

DC Level 3s have a 3 inch coil... I wouldn't want to see someone run 3k on them...

I think he means that with all the best soft parts, motor, cooling, etc...what is the most power a 3" VC can take before you have to go up to a 4" coil.

Application has nothing to do with how much power a coil can handle thermally.

There are many different types of coils. An eight layer aluminum flatwind coil can handle up to around 3000, not much more.
