More than six people can beam up at once, but only six can be materialized at once. The episode that Michael Ansara was in as a Klingon commander, Kirk and party had been captured on the planet. Kang (Ansara) ordered all beamed up, so he could capture the Enterprise. Kirk ordered the transporter operator to beam all up, but only materialize the Federation personnell so he could summon security, then materialized the Klingons (etc. I haven't seen this episode in a while, so my facts may be sketchy). So, I think more can be beamed up at once, but no more than six can be materialized at the same time. The others are saved in the transporter beams until such time the operator can materialize them.
