2,000 is the maximum for someone the same level Town Hall as you are. If you are TH8 and you raid a TH8 with 45,000 in his storage, you would be able to steal only 2,000 (plus 75% of whatever was in his drill). Once a storage has more than 40,000, attacks against it will be subject to the cap. Below 40,000, the 5% multiplier would apply.

However, the loot bonus/penalty applies not only to the 5%, but also to the 2,000 cap. If you (as a TH8) were to raid a TH7 with 45,000 in his storage, you would only be able to steal (2,000 * 0.9) = 1,800 DE from him. Likewise, if you attacked a TH10 with 45,000 in his storage, you would be able to steal (2,000 * 1.5) = 3,000 DE from him. Even if that TH10 had 200,000 in his storage, you would still only be able to steal 3,000.
