Apparently I haven't been very clear in my description. The plugins
folder is within the source package of the gnome-settings-daemon.

A rough schematic what you have to do is:
1) Get the source code with 'apt-get source gnome-settings-daemon'
2) Change the MAX_VOLUME in the source code to a value of your liking. I did 
use 150% of the original and that works fine for me.
3) Compile the new package
4) And then 'make install'
5) Restart your system

Ad 3) This is a generic instruction of how to compile stuff:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo while this are
specific instruction on how to compile the gnome-settings-daemon.

But I did put in some extra effort and I basically did do steps 1) to 3)
for you and attached the outcome. So all you have to do now is download
the attachment, extract it, run 'sudo make install' (you might have to
install a lot of development libraries though, for it to be installed
successfully. See also the guide to compiling above) and then restart
(might be enough to log off and on).

Right now I am looking into how to build a debian package. So if you
give it some time, I hopefully can provide a debian package as well.
Please bear with me. This is the first time I try to fix stuff.

Under no circumstances can this though be considered a patch. It is more
a like a dirty workaround. Furthermore, it consider this to be highly
experimental. I tried this and it works on my machine, but this does not
mean it might not do wicked stuff on yours.
