Or hitting the limit of what Tomcat can actually handle in that
environment.

I would expect that, at some point, you'll hit a wall where (total)
req/sec cannot go any higher no matter which way you adjust the attack
(concurrency versus volume-per-client).

Are you saying that with 2 clients (c=2) you can get 70K req/sec /per
client/ and then also with c=50 you can still get 70K req/sec /per
client/ meaning that Tomcat is serving 3.5M req/sec overall? That
seems ... unlikely.

Are you saying that Tomcat 7 can't serve your peak load requirements,
or that you have some paper benchmarks you want to hit and since you
can't hit them, Tomcat 7 is not an option?

I'm still not sure why you are terribly concerned with CPU
utilization. If you've got the CPU, why not use it? An idle machine is
one that is costing you money.
