if you are thinking about keeping them for long time and want them grow big then I would say you are to your limit. if you consider not keeping them after certain size then you can go for more fish that are compatible with the ones you already have.
I am not an expert on compatibility do a search on it.
When every one talk about amount of fish you can keep they usually calculate for the biggest size a fish get in aquarium (not in the nature) and then go by 5 gal per inch rule mostly. If you have good filtration and fuge then it will help.
But you might have an idea of trading fish after certain size so choose wisely.

I have a juvi Niger and Humu in a 100 gallon with a 5" Lunare Wrasse, but went in knowing I will be moving one of the Triggers to a 125 when they get bigger. When buying fish, always know what their max size is and go by that when stocking your tank - it's easy to think "hey, he's only 3" long now...", but in 1 year he'll be 10"! The Triggers especially are very active fish and need plenty of swimming room and territory. Although both the Niger and Humu are considered "smaller" Triggers, both can easily get over 10" (usually 12-15") and when you have a tank thats only 19" wide your cutting it kind close. Like keeping a German Shepard in a closet The Humus also get very mean when they get older...

We had a 3 inch Picasso Trigger and a 2 inch Niger. They did fine together. We also had a 6 line grouper. They all ate small minnows from our creek -- I wouldn't trust our Picasso with ANY of those other fish you mentioned. Hopefully the one you want to get is much smaller and your other fish are much larger. I think they'd be OK that way.
