I think in order to answer that, the question would be "how long?" Since torque is proportional to amps, the motor could put out as much torque as the input can supply. However, as the amp draw increases (after the peak efficiency), efficiency will drop. After an amount of time, the motor would become very hot due to the power converted to heat (from the low efficiency). And the longer the motor is putting out the high number of amps, the hotter it will get.
