The standard rules are 50% and 80%.

50% if you want absolute redundancy. 80% is the maximum allowed load according to USA electrical code standards. I'm not sure what the codes are for other countries. But never should it be 100%. If you have 6kW total to a cabinet 2.4 kW per power strip is what you should be aiming for in actual usage.
