How do the amounts compare with the Daily Value and the upper limit?
The adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level is 1,800 mcg a day (total intake from food, water and supplements). At the most servings their labels direct, 61 of the 1,735 products with a plausible amount (3.5%) give more than that from the supplement alone (what counts as plausible).
The upper limit is for total intake from food, water and supplements unless stated, and does not apply under medical supervision. A label amount is what the maker printed. This is data, not advice: the NIH ODS fact sheets explain what each nutrient does.

Which products list the most vanadium?
On-market products, per serving, with a plausible amount: the rule leaves out likely entry slips, such as an amount far beyond every other label with no %DV or strength on the label to back it (each product page still shows its own amount, marked).
