I can't imagine a MAF issue would cause fuel pressure to go so high.
I still don't feel that you've eliminated the possibility of some sort of internal blockage in the return line. The quick disconnects on a (stock L67) fuel rail do require a special removal tool, like this one:

You may find one at a local Auto Parts store.
Your voltages sound reasonable. If you can eliminate blockage in the lines, then I'm beginning to think that something's gone haywire with the electric motor in the pump itself. Does the pump sound funny when the pressure goes up? Like an electric motor spinning super fast?
