Y8S is right. The correct way to talk about failure due to too much power (power stroke pressure in the chamber -> pushing on the piston -> pushing on the rod) is buckling, which is why I mentioned Euler column buckling above. Static assumptions with pinned ends might be a decent assumption but I would think that the dynamic loads could add significant side loading that would reduce the calculated failure load.
For any of this, correct material properties (alloy, heat treat) are needed.

not only were our calcs way off, but the thing held all the loose objects in the room and never did break. it bent to ****--buckling.
