Sure. There is nothing to control that both hydrogen atoms are of the same isotope - which specific hydrogen atoms combine with an oxygen atom basically depends on chance. Thus, considering that about 1 out of 5000 hydrogen atoms is heavy hydrogen (deuterium), that means that about 1 out of 2500 water molecules will have one deuterium atom (since there are two options for a deuterium atom to attach; whereas only 1 out of 25 million (i.e., 5000 squared) will have TWO deuterium atoms.

And also molecules as HTO, DTO, T2O are possible (D is deuterium, T is tritium).

What is the largest mass in amu that a water molecule could have using other isotopes?

The largest mass of a water molecule (H2O) using other isotopes would be if both hydrogen atoms were deuterium (2H) isotopes instead of normal hydrogen (1H) isotopes. In this case, the total mass of the water molecule would be 20 amu, as each deuterium atom has a mass of 2 amu and the oxygen atom has a mass of 16 amu.
