You probably have loop loaded into the kernel as a module. The loop
module has a parameter to specify the number of available devices.

To set this option permanently, add this line to a new file called
/etc/modutils/loop:

  options loop max_loop=16

Make sure that loop is not in use and run 

  update-modules
  rmmod loop 
  modprobe loop

If your loop driver is compiled into the kernel, append "max_loop=16" 
(or an other suitable number) to the kernel command line in your boot
loader.
