What is the maximum PSI I can pump my carbon clincher wheels to?

The maximum pressure that you can use is 120 psi. We would recommend slightly less if you are riding on a particularly hot day in which you will be doing a lot of breaking as excessive heating can cause the pressure to swell. It is well documented that pumping a bicycle tire to its maximum pressure is not the optimal pressure for most sized riders. For the most part, using a 700×23 the only people that should be riding at 120 psi is a rider of 200 lbs+.
