What ever YOU can stand!!! ;D If it's a late production BC, the frame is the same frame as that of the 500S&W Handi which has a SAAMI MAP of 60kpsi, max loads operate at ~52kpsi, and it has a larger case head than the 45-70. Needless to say, the rifle can stand more than most people can.  ;)

In the 45-70 CUP = PSI for all practical intents and purposes, that's not true for other chamberings tho.
