Urg -- it's close. I know I have more than 100 recordings each of the Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerto and Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Of course, 100 recordings of those works is but a portion of the extant number of recordings.
On the other hand, I own every recording ever made (so far as I can determine) of Rachmaninoff's Sonata No. 1 and "The Bells" and most every recording of his 1st symphony, all of Taneyev's John of Damascus and Oresteia Overture, all recordings of Myaskovsky's symphonies and concertos, and all but one recording of Gliere's symphony No. 3. (There are not many recordings of any of those works, but some of the Russian recordings are difficult to track down.)
