Ken,
I am close to your age and have been taking enemas my entire life. In addition, I have over the years collected a small library of home medical/nursing books dating from about 1890 to 1960 (the so called "Golden Age" of enemas). In discussing enemas, most state (particularly those that are actual hospital nursing texts) that the amount of water to be given for a purgative enema, the type of enema that requires the most water, should be anywhere from one to three pints. So, what you consider your frustrating "limitation" is actually about the amount of water that is normally suggested. In my own usage of enemas, I rarely take fewer than four quarts of water before expelling. There are several reasons for this, one of which is that x-rays have shown that my colon is larger than normal, a situation which has been credited for my chronic constipation. Four quarts is about my physical limit and always produce complete purgation and marvelous cramps. For me, the deeply exhilarating physicality and sexual stimulation from an enema drive me to desire such a large amount of water. Those home medical books that are not true nursing texts, but are instead more along the lines of alternative (or quack) medical books are the only ones in which prescriptions for three and four-quart enemas are seen. In "Back to Eden", for example, Jethro Kloss advocates the use of just such an amount.
All this being said, my take on how much water a person uses is that it really doesn't matter. After all, one's preferences as to amount, type of equipment, or personal fantasies should not be made as part of a contest or challenge. If a pint of water moves you, physically and emotionally, I'd say you're doing the right thing for yourself.
