depends on the classification of your concrete. fairly typical is c20/25
which means characteristic 20n per mm2 or more on a test cylinder or 25 n
per mm2 or more on a test cube until the material breaks. in most cases the
concrete will take even more load.
conclusion: if you have a conrete floor which is about 20-25 cm in height
and pile your stuff in a corner of the room you will not run into problems.
i talked to one of our engineers at work today, he did not see a problem
too. he is the head of our concrete test lab for over 15 years now and i
tend to trust him.
if anyone is interested i have some training materials and papers according
concrete (exposition classes, usage, testing etc.). the stuff is mostly in
german, but i can translate a bit if desired.

IIRC the raised floor here is specified for 600
kg/m?...

...and your house then for 750 tons/m? ? That's impressive :-o
(I've implied that you don't mean the pressure of the entire house on the
terrain, but instead the supported weight of the floor)
