You're most certainly are hitting the SSH limitation. Note that SSH/SCP sessions are single threaded and won't utilize all of the system resources even if they are available.
Around 4 months back I was doing some testing between 2 fully configured T2000s connected using crossover cables and figured the maximum I was able to push across the wire was around <10MB/S. To further ensure that I didn't have other network problems I ran 10-15 simultaneous SCP sessions and was able to push the network utilization up linearly. This told me that SSH (v2) transfers cannot saturate a GigE channel.
