For retirement accounts that are not annuity based, generally, there are minimum required amounts you must withdraw but no limits or caps on the maximum amount you can withdraw (unless you are under 70 1/2) Just keep in mind that it all may be subject to income taxes and you are giving up the benefit of tax deferred growth.
.
Retirement benefits that are annuity based may or may not allow lump sum withdrawals, but if they do the amount will be reduced.
.
As always, there are exceptions, so please seek additional advice before withdrawing your retirement funds.

Benefits of a Roth IRA?
For many people, one of the most concerning aspects of their financial life is preparing and saving enough for retirement. Since there are so many unknowns that could occur in the future, it is very difficult to know how much needs to be saved. While saving and preparing for retirement can be difficult, investors have several financial tools and accounts to their disposal, which could make it easier. One of the most popular retirement accounts are Roth IRAs, which have several benefits for their investors. The first advantage of a Roth IRA is that the account will grow tax free. When a person invests money in a traditional investment, such as a stock or mutual fund, they will be required to pay taxes on the gains once they sell the security. Or, if they receive dividends or interest payouts, they will have to pay taxes on that income once it is received. With a Roth IRA, the gains received through sale of stock or dividend income will not have to be taxed until the money is withdrawn from the account. The second advantage of a Roth IRA is that the account does not require a person to withdraw their funds. Other retirement investment accounts, such as a 401k, have a stipulation which requires an investor to begin withdrawing money from their account by the time they reach 70 and a half years of age. If they do not begin withdrawing at that time, they will incur penalties. While this may not make a difference for some investors, those that have invested a large amount of money and do not yet need to withdraw from their Roth IRA will be able to take advantage of the account throughout their lifetime without incurring penalties. The third advantage of a Roth IRA is that money can be withdrawn at anytime without penalty. When you have a Roth IRA, you can withdraw your initial contributions without paying tax or penalty. This compares to other retirement accounts, such as a 401k, which will not only tax you, but also charge you a penalty of 10% of the amount withdrawn. Earnings received, which are then withdrawn, will still incur taxation and possibly an additional penalty.
