Subject: Lots of best moves

The opposite of a good test move (one best move choice) is one with lots of
equally good winning moves.  I was playing around, analyzing some Orangutan
games and stumbled on this position:
[D]1Q6/8/2K5/3NQ1p1/8/8/5k2/8 w - - acn 2564; acs 0; bm Nc3 Ne3 Qb1 Qb3 Qb4 Qb5
Qbb2+ Qbh8 Qc3 Qc8 Qe3+ Qe4 Qe6 Qe7 Qee8 Qf5+ Qf8+ Qg3+ Qh2+; ce 32762; dm 3; pv
Qf5+ Kg2 Ne3+ Kg1 Qf1#;

Which made me wonder,
In a real game, what is the most ever equally good (DTM) simultaneous best
moves?

19 equal mates in 3 is interesting, but I wonder if there has ever been (for
example) 100 best moves leading to mate in some minimum distance.
