I didn't in TFT. Ran for 7 years and only got up to about 46-point 
characters. However what we did do was introduce rules which compare the 
point totals of combatants _including_ magic bonuses, and award experienced 
based on the difference between them. So Captain Kill with Fine Plate over 
Iron Flesh and a magic battleaxe to boot, is only going to get a couple of 
EP for each unarmored 25-point cannon fodder he chops in two.

I did have a very few NPC renowned warriors in the neighborhood of ST 24 
doing the single-handed 2-hsd and tower shield nonsense... but they were 
rarely involved with players.

In the most detailed of my GURPS house rules, I did include attribute 
limits as part of character creation. GURPS gets a little more broken by 
high basic attributes than TFT does, IMO. However, there's more than one 
way to keep character attribute levels under control.
