I just tried ktune nproc=120 and then rebooted which did indeed increase nproc to 120 (as reported by ktune -d). The naming in /usr/include/sys/tune.h with NPROCMAX = 100 made me wonder if you could go above 100, but the documentation on ktune says "up to system capacity" whatever that might be... The MAX values in tune.h appear to be the default values, which matches the ktune documentation.

Nevermind -- I just saw your other note about having pushed the swap partition 100+ MB, nice.
