The largest tanked water heaters I have seen that are 110 volt are 19.9 gallon, and they use the same single 1500 water heating element that is used in the same company's (GE's) 6 and 10 gallon water heaters.
The difference is in "recovery time", which is how long it takes to get the tank of water back up to set temperature after all the heated water has been removed. So, you ask why, and the short answer seems to be all tied up in how much water needs to be heated how much in how short of a time.
I was only going on the prior PR (long, long ago, when they first announced that they were switching the game-plan from the single cavity - that was supposedly at phase 3 - to the multicavity that they said was going to use 4 magnetrons at 1500 watts each).
