The number of push-ups you could do demonstrates your total fitness level. For me, I can't do more than 15 push ups all together. How many full push-ups can you perform consecutively?

Oh God, it's depressing to think. Honestly, I probably couldn't do more than 5 push ups. I'm a really big guy though - physically fit in most other ways, a regular football/rugby player, but my pure weight and shoulder breadth makes it difficult to do push ups very well. 
When I was training push-ups in resistance mode for a long time to increase my reps, I managed to do almost 100 in a row, right now I will be able to do about 50.
I can do 20 push-ups without stopping. Push-ups stand out as among my most preferred exercises because I focus on developing my upper body strength at the moment. A few daily sets helps a lot in my fitness goal.
I do pushups from an incline position (feet 30 inches higher) and hit around 40 in one go, but do 4 sets for about a total of around 90.
I'll have to test to see what I can do in a normal pushup position...

It is beautiful that you are able to focus on achieving 20 pushups on a daily basis or as at when you want to do the training. I've been very focused on doing squatting, for example, as it helps to build up my hips region.
I want to build my upper body strength and I've started to engage in more push-ups. In fact, I do it morning and night just to achieve quick results. I started a couple of days ago and I've seen some changes.
I have not done pushups for many years, however, when used to do pushups in the past I could do 30 at a time and could do upto 100 with a couple of minutes breaks.
I can't do a lot of pushups. May be 5 to 6.

I will be honest when I say I have no clue how many push-ups I could do now. I always remember when I was younger, me and my brothers used to have a competition on who could do the most push-up's and the most I could manage was 10, sometimes a little more before I couldn't do anymore.
Maybe around 30. If I absolutely had to.
I used to do 25 push-ups in one go but now I can't really say my limit because it's been a while since I exercised. But if I pick it up, with time, I should be able to do 25 push-ups in a go conveniently.
I can do 25 push-ups at a stretch right now. I remember when I was active in exercise and agility trainings, I could do 50 push-ups without any break. The pressures of life has made our appetite for exercising less and less.
I am a fit person. And I can do 20 push-ups at once when I have stayed for some time without exercise. But when I have been exercising regularly, I can go as much as 40 push-ups at a stretch. I love to do push ups in the morning and it helps so much with strength build up for the day.
I am now plateaued at 32 pushups in this position. Since then, I have gained about 10kg/22lbs, which has made it more difficult.
I'm going to try and break the plateau soon by mixing in pushups with an 18kg/40lb weight vest. I imagine I will only be able to do a set of incline pushups at 15/10/8/4-6 repetitions with the vest, but it'll build strength. After a few weeks, I should get back up to 40 pushups in one go without the vest. Though I don't know if my core is strong enough for the full 40 pounds, and might need to start with 20 pounds at first and add weight to hit those repetitions to gain the strength necessary to break the plateau.
Did it tonight for four sets of 15, 12, 8, and 6 repetitions with the vest on and then did a super set with it off ending the session with 12 pushups.
My core was just fine. I struggled with front shoulders failing first. Also, since I couldn't touch my chest to the ground, I didn't feel the stretch or focus as much in my chest.
However, just to kill my chest, I added 2 more exercises that were chest centric to get that nice "it's working burn".
