As it stands I can only do like 30 or so with the bars... I wonder what I could do with my hands.

I can do ~66 nonstop (~80 in 2 minutes) with a medium stance on my palms. I lose a ton when I go up on my fists and have to stabilize myself. I get more pushups with a wider stance (pecs), less with a closer stance (triceps). This is how I've trained for years, though... largely ignoring my arms somehow.
And seeing that your arms make mine look like a strip of beef jerky, you might be able to get more out of doing close hand pushups by turning your hands out slightly and rocketing off your triceps. A lot of army guys with big arms bounce on their triceps during PT tests and knock out like 85 in under 2 minutes.
