The An-124 can carry 150t, the An-225 even more. This capacity has been used in practice.The Dreamlifter has a payload of 113 tons, and the Beluga XL can carry 46 tons. So neither can fulfill all use cases of the An-124.And both require specialized handling systems for loading, whereas the An-124 is self-supporting: with ramps on both ends, cargo can be driven into the hold. If that's not feasible, the An-124 has cranes and ramp extensions on board.
