Friction always caps how much energy resonance can store.

Evidence

The full story of resonance can’t be told without incorporating damping due to friction. Friction is always present to some extent and ultimately limits the amount of energy that can be stored in a system by “properly timed pulls” as Galileo called them—that is, constructive or resonant addition of amplitude. If the drive keeps operating, eventually the power loss due to friction will equal the power input: a steady state is reached. — Eric J. Heller, Why You Hear What You Hear- An…, 943
