I think you could warm a lot more liquid if you use a well isolated container. I my self have a setup with a pizza delivery box that I made waterproof. I don’t use milk in it but the water stays at temperature for hours after the ANOVA is removed. In a normal container heat is lost at a much higher rate. Because the box is so well isolated I can use more water than I could use with a non isolated polycarbonate container.  
Making the pizza delivery box was a lot of work. You could also use a cool box. Conversion of these for sous vide instructions can be found on YouTube. I don’t know if this system would work for two times the liquid as normal though.  
In general I think polycarbonate boxes are not very energy sufficient.

> BEWARE!!! This Kangabox will leak! See the thread for more info… This is my setup. It’s a Kangabox 32 liter container. The box is called thermobox easy. Material is EPP. It’s a lot tougher than styrofoam. Made a hole in the top of 60 mm and the Anova is a nice tight fix. This box is very well isolated and therefore the right fit for a long look. On the inside I have made marks for the maximum water level. The Anova sticks in over 3 cm beyond the minimum mark. That’s a bit of a concern but…
