One other question: is there a specification on the
absolute maximum signal voltage magnitude for a line
level output?

Most preamps will put out close to 10 VRMS, considering
the typical +/- 15V power-supply rails...

One word: tubes.

And two more words: differential outputs.

With higher supply voltages (like +/- 21V) there are several common
opamps which will (just) put out +24dBu. Use a pair of them as a
differential output and you get +30dBu max output. Or you can use a
higher-supply-voltage discrete circuit or, as Arny says, tubes.
