The vertical load capacity of a "plain" wooden post will depend on its height. You can load a 6" x 6" post that is up to about 10 feet tall that is sitting under a spreader beam and on a sill to something like 15,000 pounds. But this is exclusive of any torsional or deflecting loads, and you know why. A beam loaded to capacity in the vertical that is then subject to any significant lateral or torsional loads will almost certainly fail. Structural engineers earn their living making calculations like this in various situations. And they are worth every penny.

How much weight can a 6x6 steel i-beam support?
It depends on the type of beam, the material, whether it is a bridge span or cantilever, the allowable deflection and safety margin needed. We need a lot more data on the application.
