I've never really encountered the problem of ABs overwhelming the party. . 
. with the exception of the Blessed, and the first Martial Artist someone 
played. . .

Okay.  I've never really come up with a fix for the ABs that overwhelmed 
the party.  With the Blessed, it was a matter of his faith keeping him in 
check, and with the Martial Artist it was a matter of keeping his Chi pool 
(old rules Martial Artist) fairly low.

In general, I go a step beyond limiting ABs to one per party - I generally 
limit all edges to one per group.  That way there is only one rich guy, 
only one officer, only one two-fisted guy, etc.  I do this to better 
preserve the distinctness of the non-AB character types.
