I routinely stitch 120+ images together. Recently I've resorted to using an older version of Hugin in a vm and/or using AutoPanoPro Giga for setting my control points. Because AutopanoPro Giga does the job I'll probably end up getting that for my control point creation, exporting to panotools and importing into hugin for my final edit.
