Here is my setup right now I am using.

1. Zinwell wideband non external powered switch 103w ku band avenger dual out lnb, 99w titanium c band dual output lnbf.

2. Zinwell wideband non external powered switch 87w ku band avenger dual out lnb, dbs lnb 110w any open channels.

My room has a 4 port davey switch port 1 has the number 1 zinwell switch, port 2 zinwell switch 2, port 3 has 107w c band.

My mom's room 4 port switch port 1 has the number 1 zinwell switch, port 2 zinwell switch 2.

My living room 8 port amiko switch port 1 zinwell switch, port 8 zinwell switch 2, port 2 has 95w single output ku amiko lnb, port 3 91w ku geosatpro lnb.

Not trying to lose people here I was wondering if I was in safe power limits on my receivers amiko nano in living room, amiko mini hd my room, micro hd in mom's room.

Could I add on more lnbs and switches or am I at the limits. I have used to switches simple guide on here.
 
Not really an easy question to answer. I don't see any issues in the way you describe it. But to really know you need a meter that can measure the current draw on the receiver during actual operation. The AI Turbo S2 provides that capability for me. Features like that are rarely needed but indispensable when needed.
 
Likely better to use externally powered Zinwell switches when possible, much less loading on your DISEqC switches and receiver(s). I think you are fine with DRO LNBFs.

I didn't see in your setup above is a Ku motorized dish or PLL LNB/LNB(F) units. These would add significant loads to your receiver.

All of them are except for 110 w are pll lnbs & lnbf. What is the best to add external power switches? No dish mover or motor.
