Ditto,

An MMC could be used for any size TC or power. It's all in the MMC 
design. Granted, it may be more cost effective to buy a prof. pulse 
cap than build an MMC when the power gets up in that range. But 
nevertheless, an MMC could be built to suit, as long as cost is not 
an issue (which it never is, in my experience).

Take care,
