maxW = effect("max-width")("Slider");
sourceW = sourceRectAtTime(time,true).width; if(sourceW >= maxW ){ s = value[0]*maxW/sourceW;
[s,s]
} else { value
}

Apply expression to the Scale property to keep a text layer from scaling beyond a certain value. Link maxW to a Slider Control for maximum control.
