how much horsepower can the 904 take?

I found this article online: 904 Torqueflite Transmission - New Old School - Mopar Muscle Magazine
The article indicates that a pre 1966 torqueflite can be push started. Now, I have push started plenty of standard transmission cars by popping the clutch. So, explain to me how this is done without a clutch???

Rear pump driven by the output shaft, and getting a custom converter is getting tougher for the small-hub early A's, which also had smaller input shafts on the 904's then.
Anyway, push the car in neutral then push the (edit) low button, the system is pressurized by that rear pump anytime the car is moving,........unless You grenaded a u-joint!!!

I was reading through the shop manuals that I just purchased and it indicates push start in neutral and then push number one for low gear. I see now that the shop and parts manuals will be very handy.

Yeah, I meant to edit that after posting at work last nite, rear band needs to apply in manual low.
As far as performance converters for early 904's, the smaller input shaft and hub make it harder to find by far & the input obviously limits torque capacity compared to the later one.
