So I've been messing around with a rank 37 Boon of the Hoarder (80.5% gold explosion) / Gold Wrap (for the armor) / Custerian Wristguards (for the xp) + alot of gold find (9,794% in T6). It looks like 14,014,760 is the max armor you can get (i.e. I kept picking up gold but toughness stopped going up because armor stopped going up). 14,014,760 seems like a strange number to cap at but it definitely hard stopped there on two different tests even though I kept picking up gold. Maybe someone else can figure why that would be mathematically significant -- I just like that I found the max
It's good for speed running T6 normal rifts -- gold keeps you moving fast as well (secondary part of hoarder gem) and belt keeps me pretty much invulnerable even without Unity or the like. Also, trash mobs don't disappear when rift guardian pops (as with greater rifts) so I just drag the guardian to more mobs/packs if I need to. Earlier today, I was playing billy goat with the Butcher - he starts to charge at me and instead of dodging I just yelled, "Come at me, Bro!"
Only bad part is you get used to being invulnerable and then the stack drops off while you dance on top of lasers or something but yeah it's fun. Separately, really regretting all those Avarice Bands I sharded. I have ferrets and the Raven from the bow running around picking up gold but lately I think they've stopped trying. They just keep giving me this "dude, you can't be serious . . ." look.
While the number you posted looks a little arbitrary, if you plug it into the Armor Dmg Reduction formula (DmgRed = A / (A + 3500)), you get .99975 or 99.975%. Comboed with your Phys Res, you're sitting at ~0.99995 or 99.995% reduction. (Or taking 1 dmg for every 20000 dealt to you). To me this looks like an internal cap...

That's the primary reason I'm doing this to be honest. The genesis of the idea came from getting Paragon levels onto my Seasonal DH very quickly. I'm far beyond needing the gold at this point, but at the % find and the amount that is dropping, I'm getting a significant percentage boost of xp for each T6 rift run. I know I've gained more than 2.5 billion bonus xp this way already and it keeps rolling in.

What if you had a level 37 moratorium too?
Moratorium does not reduce the received damage instead it staggers 25 % over X seconds depending on the level of the gem.
I understand how the gem works. It still provides an increase to survivability. The thing there is staggering 1*0.25 over 6.7 seconds. I just find that minute amount funny.

Now, if there was a stacking mechanic added to it...for boss fights.
It's good fun though. Silly as all get out, but fun.
Can't believe a lvl 37 stone though, lol.
