it changes based on what will be attached to this,if the load will be low,then you could put in more than if it will be a high load (eg. close to the limit of the circuit. ) It all depends on how much heat is dissipated in the wiring.

Every box is designed to house a certain number of breakers (circuits). You are out of room in your current box or close to it.

The maximum amount of conductors you can have in a junction box depends on your needs, also in how many your electricity itself can withstand (don't overpower your electricity. )
