I think the recommended number is 15-20 backlinks per month

", complete rubbish.
How do you explain sites which have millions of backlinks? For example,
Wikipedia has (5,128,374) backlinks according to yahoo site explorer.
Based on the top of end of your "safe" estimate it would have taken wikipedia 21,368 years to build their backlinks.
Wikipedia was created in 2001 (not sure of the month, so i will use Jan for this example), that means on average they have gain 58,946 backlinks per month since launch.
There is no safe level of backlinks per month, it varies on which sector you are in, what is the natural link growth for good sites in your sector, how old your site is, etc, etc.
My best advice is that if the links are natural you will be very, very unlucky to build links too quickly, and secondly dont add your site to 3,000 directories!
