Where did you see `Word64`? I don't think there is a direct artificial limit. See the definition of `TxOut` and `Value`. `Value` uses `Integer`, which has no limit. https://playground.plutus.iohkdev.io/tutorial/haddock/plutus-ledger-api/html/Plutus-V1-Ledger-Tx.html#t:TxOut https://playground.plutus.iohkdev.io/tutorial/haddock/plutus-ledger-api/html/Plutus-V1-Ledger-Value.html#t:Value

The limit amount of output ADA is specified as `Word64` which is an 64-bit unsigned integer, therefore the maximum output is `18 446 744 073 709 551 615` lovelaces in the current implementation.

So, sending all 45 billion of ADA is theoretically possible.
