Have you come across a single recording actually using more than 16 bits of dynamic range?

Yes, yes, and no. It is actually very simple. Instead of imagining one sample that hits 0dBFS, imagine two consecutive ones. It is pretty clear that the signal actually goes higher in between, and that is what comes out at the end of the reconstitution filter - a wave that goes higher than 0dBFS.
