Only as hot as the aquastat setting on the boiler tells it to get. Or in the case of a reset system where the water temp is reset up or down based on outdoor air temp, only as hot as the reset schedule (which is adjustable) set into the controller tells it to get given the outdoor conditions on that particular day.

Why is a hot water heater called a hot water heater?
It is called this as it heats up or brings up the temperature of cold water to hot. In other words, it is producing hot water by heating it. Some people incorrectly believe it is redundant to refer to "hot water" and "heater", but there are many other types of heaters, so the distinction of one creating hot water is entirely proper.
What would the water temperature be in a central heating unit if it was a model for electricity?
I'm not sure of your question.In the USA, most hot water heaters and furnaces are independent units. They can be either gas (methane) or electric powered. The hot water heaters are thermostatically controlled, and thus the water temperatures in the gas and electric water heaters would be essentially the same. The speed at heating the water depends on the HW heater design, but both gas and electric HW heaters would be similar in speed.I've heard of combined Hot water heaters and furnaces in use in Russia, with the side effect of only having hot water in the winter.Here in the USA, electric furnaces come in 2 varieties. Heat Pumps function somewhat like an air conditioning unit, and deal with heat differentials. In mild temperatures, they are more efficient than direct electric heating. However, the temperature increase is relatively moderate. It is likely they could only heat water to a "luke-warm" temperature.Using conventional electric heating, the electric heating elements can become extremely hot. Think of your stove with temperatures in excess of 400 degrees F. However, the actual temperature of water would be dependent on the design.I would encourage consulting the manufacturer of the device you are interested in with any device specific questions.
Will it hurt your hot water heater to use all the hot water?
Hot water heaters (tank/storage type) have a supply line connected to your city or well water. The heater is either on or off depending on the temperature you set on that device. You will not hurt the system as it is designed to constantly heat the water until the temperature is raised to your set point. So the answer is that it neither hurts or helps you HWH.
