But those were SMALL warheads. You could never use a MM3 to launch an HTV-2 or Avangard for example, or even a multimegaton warhead.
Not sure about the latter, the smaller MM2 had a 1.2MT warhead. Could you put a 2+MT warhead on the larger MM3 if your really wanted? Probably. On something slightly larger than a MM3? Definitely.
W78 weighed 320-360kg, so 1,000+ kg total for 3. Could you make a 1,000kg 2MT warhead? Very likely. In fact the W56 + RV only weighed 377kg and that was 1.2MT. Given how the achievable yield/mass ratio increases with size, with 1,000-1,100kg you'd be looking at 4-5MT.
