Don't think it goes beyond 6 gold medals either way.
I did some research on this in 2018 (see this thread here) so I'm just going to copy a lot of that post here to save time.

Basically the medals are made up of two parts. The left hand side appears to represent your total likes (the filename is called "kin" although that just translates to money/gold) and it is display by 0 to 3 gold medals. The right hand side is actually a single image and is representative of your post count (post rank is literally in the filename for those images):



Unfortunately as far as I know there's no way for us to even see the total likes we've received, let alone see someone elses, so I've never managed to work out exactly how the likes translate into the 0 to 3 medals. I did try to setup an experiment with a random person (mentioned in the thread above), but unfortunately there was never enough data to really work anything out.

The post count however was much easier to work out:

Rank 1: 1 -> 9
Rank 2: 10 -> 19
Rank 3: 20 -> 29
Rank 4: 30 -> 49
Rank 5: 50 -> 99
Rank 6: 100 -> 249
Rank 7: 250 -> 499
Rank 8: 500 -> 999
Rank 9: 1000 -> 1999
Rank 10: 2000+

I hope this is of some help!
