Which version are you running
100 seems to be the limit (testing in X6.3). But I've never tried setting it higher so don't know if it was previously possible to exceed it,
But I imagine you could do what you want, by applying the fill to another, larger object and then using your current object as a powerclip.

The latest X6.3. version.

First of all, let's think a moment: When we say 100, what are we talking about? ? 100 pixels? 100 millimeters?? ? No, there is a percentage that is set from zero to 100. Mathematically, we could use 101% or 120% but if we speak of a value ranging from zero to 100 is not possible. Likewise, when we choose the percentage of ink, we can use 20%. 50%, etc but no program allows you to use a 120% black. The maximum is 100
So, let me explain a litle why is set to 100. We are talking about the diameter of the circle, because you're use a Radial Fill. You can't use more than 100% of the circle, because if you enlarge the circle always the max size is 100%. The radius of the Radial Fountain fll is always 50% of the diameter, no matter the size or distance.

Never was possible, also on any other software
estugarda said:Also the interesting thing is that is possible to adjust the gradient in toolbar to more than 100 by mouse dragging it, but it doesn't apply to the object.
So, you can enlarge tne Radial Fil, just press the G key for Interative fill and drag. That's enlarge or reduce the circle of Fountain Fill or change the center, Is more than 100% of the size of the selected object, but never is more than 100% of the diameter of the fill.

I understand the logic behind it as it is, but it is not necessary. It's a ridiculous limitation. As you said, it could've been set to 120%. These are vectors. They are where you put them. They don't fill real physical space but virtual. You can't compare that with ink example because that is physically limited. There is only one reason why 100 is set to max; somebody made it like that without thinking that it is a limitation.

I remember this bothered me before, and I think I found some kind of a workaround. Maybe it was with PowerClip. Maybe I'm wrong about it, but you can definitely do this with other software.Try Inkscape. You can do wildest things with fountain fills there. Including resizing and deforming the circular gradient to any desired size or position. It simply is programmed to get out of the object dimensions. So what!? Who says it's not allowed? Apart from Corel, I mean.
Look at this image. It's self explanatory. This is how CorelDRAW Gradient tool should work like;

Interactive does the same limited thing, as you say. Same thing.
