Let me understand your question:

You want the government to take out as much money as possible from your paycheck?

In other words, you want your paycheck to be as small as possible?

If so, check the "single" or "married but withhold at single rate" box (they both do the same thing). On line 5, enter 0 for number of allowances. On line 6 ("Additional amount, if any, you want withheld from each paycheck") enter the entire amount of your take-home pay. (Employers are not required to honor the request on line 6, but most do.) If you follow these instructions, 100% of your pay will be withheld for taxes.

Some people who own their own companies manage to withhold more than 100% of their pay by paying the additional amount to the company. But if you don't own the company, there is near-zero probability your employer will let you do this.

Is there a maximum limit for deductions on payroll?

It used to be that if you claimed more than 10 your employer had to forward copies of your W4 in to the IRS for their review. This ruling was changed recently. So the answer is that you can claim as many dependents on your W4 as you want, BUT the IRS has the right to question the number you claim. They can do this if you end up with no taxes being withheld or if they believe you have supplied innaccurate information on the W4 form. You may have to write to them and justify why you are claiming 16 dependents for example. If the IRS doesn't like your answer they can direct your company to take withholding taxes out for 9 dependents (or whatever they think is right). The employer has a limited amount of time (45 days I believe) to comply with this directive.

Do you need to change your w4 filing status when you get married?

No, not really. If you change the status on your W4 from Single to Married, less will be withheld from your paychecks for federal income taxes. There is no requirement that you make that change.
