Awhile back I was tinkering with the idea of maxing out unarmed strike damage as much as possible.

Anyway, I came up with this kind of build:
Monk 2/Psychic Warrior 14/Warshaper 1-3/Psychic Warrior+
Kalashtar with Talashtora and Superior Unarmed Strike, so base UAS damage is 2d10.
It's a pretty basic variation on King of Smack.

{table=head]Effective Size Increase|Item/Ability| Sourcebook
+1| Ectoplasmic Fist Quori Shard | ECS
+1| Battle Fists (requires Mighty Arms graft, RoE)| ECS
+1| Improved Natural Attack |SRD
+5| Ring of Greater Mighty Whallop x2 | RoD
+1| Earthhammer| RoS
+1| Sharptooth| Drac
+2| Metamorphisis |XPH
+2| Expansion |XPH
+1| Morphic Weapons | CW
+15| Total|[/table]

I'm not sure if some of the effects stack, but I'm pretty sure most of them do.

Also, what would the damage be for this? I mean... It'd insanely high. I know that much.

I tried it on my own, so I'm really unsure if this is an accurate number, but I got up to 1540d8(x2, because 2d10) damage using the regular damage-by-size increase progression.

I was doing this off the top of my head, and since I'm away from my books atm, I was wondering... Is this possible?

Any corrections/criticisms would be most appreciated.

Why would the rings of Greater Mighty Wallop stack with each other?

Ah... Didn't think about that.
Hmm... Maybe one ring of GMW and something else. Brings down the total to +15, bummer...
Still 512d8 though (... I think).

Any ideas what to replace it with?

Would a psychoactive skin based off bend reality be able to increase effective size?

(Again, I'm AFB, so I'm at a loss there.)

If your request for corrections includes nitpicky ones, Mighty Arms is in FoE not RoE.
