All things being equal, there's no reason why an Ithaca Model 37 shouldn't handle saboted slugs, assuming that you aren't using 3" magnum shells in a 2-3/4" chamber. If you have any doubt, have the gun checked out by a gunsmith.

What is the maximum load for Kentucky rifle?

It would depend on the caliber, type and maker. ie. 45, 50, 54
caliber, smooth bore, rifled barrel, antique, older reproduction or
modern steel But a safe place to start is with as many grains of
black powder as the caliber, ie. 45 cal = 45 grains of powder.
Depending on the conditions above you can go from there.
