What is the maximum power output achievable from the 1333cc Renault engine, namely the one installed in the CLK200, without causing any detrimental effects on its structural integrity?

Unless there is an error in my understanding, it seems that Mercedes has not installed any Renault engines in a CLK model.
The production of CLK models was ceased prior to the installation of Renault-built engines in 2018.
It is presumed that the occurrence in question is a typographical error.

If you are referring to the CLA200 mentioned in your profile, I recommend consulting the provided wiki link for more information.
Depending on the specific engine model installed, it is possible to enhance its performance by reprogramming it, resulting in an additional 27 brake horsepower (bhp) and 50 Newton meters (Nm) of torque, as shown by the data provided on the corresponding Wikipedia page.
Given my lack of familiarity with this particular engine, I would not be motivated to seek more performance enhancements. Instead, I would consider acquiring a CLA model that had a higher initial power output.
Does anybody have any information or knowledge on the CLA45?

There was no accidental pressing of a key.

An error or mistake has occurred. The CLK model does not have any Renault engines, particularly not a 1.3 engine. The CLA class, specifically the CLA200 model, is equipped with Renault engines, indicating that this is likely the engine type to which you are referring. With a power output of 100 horsepower per liter, the performance of the engine may be considered satisfactory. There does not seem to be a straightforward method to get a significant increase in quantity.

However, when doing a little investigation, it was discovered that there exists an enhanced turbo kit that purports to provide an additional 136 horsepower for a price of Euro1300. Given the limited availability of more information, I would personally refrain from doing the task. However, the decision ultimately rests with you as the owner of the vehicle. Please do a search.

SBD Motorsport achieved a power output of 381 brake horsepower (BHP) using a supercharged Suzuki Hayabusa engine with a displacement of 1.3 liters. This example illustrates the potential for achieving remarkable performance outcomes with substantial financial investment.

However, it should be noted that the aforementioned engine is specifically designed for motorcycles and has the capability to reach a maximum of 11,000 revolutions per minute (rpm).
