Yes, theoretically it's possible. An open circuit transformer is basically a large inductor. When combined with a capacitor it makes a resonant circuit. The resistor is too small of a value to dampen it. Increase the secondary turns to 10 and you'll get a ten fold increase in amplitude. And the resonant frequency isn't 60Hz but 50.4Hz

For instance i got it up to 10GV and it was still rising. In reality there are limiting factors like transformer and capacitor losses, at 10GV the transformer isolation will break down, and such factors. That's why you adjust the Q factor with the resistor to dampen the rise to reasonable limits.
