You should also be aware that a multi-outlet circuit greater than 50A
in a residential setting is *not* code compliant.

Can you point me to the section of code that says this??


Section 210.3, at least as of the 2002 edition. My emphasis added:

*************
210.3 Rating. Branch circuits recognized by this article
shall be rated in accordance with the maximum permitted
ampere rating or setting of the overcurrent device. The rating
for **other than individual branch circuits** shall be 15, 20,
30, 40, and 50 amperes. snip

Exception: Multioutlet branch circuits greater than 50 amperes
shall be permitted to supply nonlighting outlet loads
on industrial premises where conditions of maintenance
and supervision ensure that only qualified persons service
the equipment.
**************

BTW, I'm not sure how they get away with posting this, but here's
NFPA70 2002 in pdf format.
