Being a bit anal about such things, I went back to the Featured User (nee "Featured Author") page and checked. Six users shared the old record of 16 votes:

Spenny - December '09

Sunshine - April '10

Shane - May '10

Reddy - August '10

Koops and TAU - September '10

Note that TAU's last-second 16th vote probably wasn't officially counted, as it came on the heels of what was apparently supposed to be a tiebreaker vote in favor of Koops.
