Consider boxes enclosing conductors larger than #6:

The only limitation on the number of conductors in the box is based how many raceways can be connected to the box. Or is there another code that supersedes this scenario?

Before making any condemnations, please understand that I have not advocated using the minimum standard for this application.

312. does not apply to the boxes he is asking about.
It really depends on the box. In my work, I normally use NEMA 12 continuous hinge boxes for pull and junction boxes. They are all listed as "cutout" boxes and not as pull and junction boxes.
