not really. It's a matter of when your system starts to bog down, and unfortunately there's no good way to give general guidance, especially on a number like size of the index. 90% of the index size could be stored data (*.fdt and *.fdx files) that have no bearing on search requirements.....
My advice would be to set up a test system and keep adding documents to it until it blows up. You can fire queries you mine from the Solr logs at to simulate load. You may have to synthesize documents to get a good sense of this.... But a 1G index is actually quite small by many standards. Of course it depends on your hardware...
