About 850,000 research points on turn 75, which ended in the destruction of the Norachi Empire after the collapse of the Last stronghold. Obviously, we are on a bigger map than average, as I had about 45 colonized systems in my greedy hands, and all three colonizing technologies. (Even if I didn't bother to use Ice) Computers were researched as well to increase this amount. I only built so many research centers because we were playing with a high technology cost, but even then, research is very cheap.
Do not worry Nodachi, I lost a mere two games in a row on KOTH, so the record was not too high. Not yet.
