What is the maximum number of records returned by WFS protocol? What is maximum number of records returned by a Feature Layer in ArcGIS Server 10.1? What is maximum number of records the ArcGIS JavaScript 3.1 feature layer can display?
I am facing a peculiar problem in ArcGIS Server 10.1 and ArcGIS JavaScript API 3.1.
In the capability tab, if I set the maximum number of records to more than 13,000 records, then the layer is not displayed. I am using a relational database and joining 5-6 tables to get the desired data.

It sounds like you've reached your browser's memory limits in regards to the data returned by arcgis server 10.1. The maximum number of records returned by WFS and ArcGIS Feature Layer depend on how it was set up by the server (default is 1000 for anything running through ArcGIS Server). You can reconfigure it to send more, but then you run into poor browser performance.
The question is, do you really need to juggle that much data client-side?

You don't mention the data "type/use" for your data, this article about parcel fabric has some good memory joggers that can be helpful. Best practices for migrating
