There are 2 limits
By itself, you are limited to what 64bit Windows will provide as an addressable space – that amounts to 8TB. When a future version of 64bit Windows expands that maximum you should see that immediately reflected in .NET applications running on the 64bit CLR – there is no hardcoded or .NET architectural limit within the 64bit address space.
However .NET does have a hardcoded limit of 2GB per object. About the only realistic way you can reach this is by defining really big arrays, such as
new int[1000000000]. This is also the main reason for the limit (apart from some issues with memory fragmentation), as the .NET framework standard defines array indexes as anint.
