I got around 80-100mbit with an 200mbit VPS. Please remember: Tor will NOT use all your bw. So this is as good as it gets.

Even if RelayBandwidthRate is set to maximize the available bandwidth?

Yes.
RelayBandwidthRate is the maximum limit on your relay's traffic.

The bandwidth authorities allocate a consensus weight to your relay
based on the RelayBandwidthRate and measured bandwidth.

Then clients use your relay in proportion to its weight.
This usage is below your RelayBandwidthWeight.

Here are some good reasons why usage isn't 100% :
* Tor needs some extra bandwidth for SSL/TCP/IP, and directory fetches
* Tor usage varies throughout the day
* Networks need reserve bandwidth to provide good latency
* Networks need extra bandwidth to handle extra loads
