Screaming Eagle lock on stands are the strongest I've ever heard of.
They have been tested with over 4000 lbs. of weight.
Doc's Recliner and the Tree Lounge have both been tested with 1200 lbs. of static weight. They seem to be the strongest of the climbers.
The reason for some of the low weight ratings is insurance costs. If a manufacturer rated a climbing stand at 1000 lbs., the cost to the consumer would be too expensive.
Once the rating goes past 300 lbs. the insurance costs increase quite a bit.
