The problem with adding large numbers of DIMM's to a single system is that the risk of an uncorrectable memory error rises to an uncomfortable level. One ECC failure and the entire server crashes. Many of these memory heavy systems are being used for virtualization, and an error in any DIMM takes down all the VM's. There is currently no PC operating system capable of isolating the error and recovering.
