I don't know if you have the "CH-53X" yet. I guess it is a fairly new program to increase the lifting power of the current CH-53 Sea Stallion, as well as increase there range of operations.
Also, there is some talk about developing a four-engined tilt rotor aircraft, possible as a replacement/supplement for the C-130. It would also be needed to operate with the proposed "Sea Bases" the US Navy is looking into (and the US Army increasing as well). One figure thrown around was a lift capacity of 50,000 lbs.
