Any of the major engine builders could build and run a "super-duper high rev lots of power" engine. They all know how, and it's just a matter of balancing risk versus reliability.
But my entire viewpoint is constructed around the fact that finishing second in the race means absolutely nothing to Michael Schumacher. It's win or blow up.

Slight hijack:

Who was the racer that was quoted saying something to the effect of: "I'd rather come home on a tow hook than finish in 2nd place"?

I was just reading some statistics... It says RS26 had 735hp RS26B 750hp... than no data for specs C, D, D5. Is it too much if I guess that C had 765hp, D 780hp, D5 795hp and E 810hp ? :?

I know that some evolutions might have brought only more torque or less fuel consumption so I might be wrong about C, D, D5 but I think that exceeding 800hp would be possible for E spec - one race engine.
