Depends on the community and the era. In many communities, the title doesn't change. Among Hassidim, the highest Rabbis are called Rebbe; among Sephardim the title Chacham is used; and among the Litvish (yeshiva community), the title of Posek (codifier of Jewish law) or Harav Hagaon (expert Rabbi).
The above are some common examples.
It is worth noting in Judaism, however, that having an elevated Rabbinical title does not grant the Rabbi more power over communities and other Rabbis, as opposed to how having a more elevated title does grant more power in Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Shiite Islam. More people may follow the opinion of a Posek or a Gaon because they trust the judgment of that person, but not because he can compel the following of his opinion through "regular" Rabbis.

Can there be more than one Rabbi in a synagogue?
yes....in larger congregations there is often a rabbi and one or more assistant rabbis. Some synagogues are too large for the Senior Rabbi to do everything alone. The Rabbi is the deciding religious authority in a synagogue. There may be others who assist in administrative and advisory functions. There may be others in the congregation who are qualified, knowledgable, and even have a title of Rabbi. But only one person can have that elected or paid position of authority.

Is the word rabbi capitalized in a sentence?
If you are referring to a specific rabbi using a proper noun/title, yes— in the same way you would use “Reverend” or “Father” as a title. If you are using the word as an improper noun, then no. It is like the words “doctor“ and “professor” in this way. Examples: I met Rabbi Goldbloom‘s husband yesterday. Her husband is also a rabbi. Talk to your rabbi about that issue. My rabbi— whose name is Rabbi Diamond— is of a different sect. Did you try the gefilte-fish, Rabbi? Credentials: native American English speaker, and a Jew :)
