What is the max power (dBm) a AM receiver can get in the real world?

I've stood about a fourth of a block away from the tower array of a
50,000 watt station (WQEW-AM 1560 New York). With a satisfactory
quality pocket transistor radio.

The signal was extremely distorted. Overload.

Couldn't get any closer becasue of the damned fence around the
property.
