Granted I only have one sugar maple and the rest are red or silver. Is that the reason or am I doing something wrong?
When I was doing buckets I was thrilled with a 10 gallon day on 25 taps.

If you see people with high gallons per tap per day they are on vacuum. Either they have a vacuum pump or are running a 3/16 tubing with excellent slope. Or possibly it's a "fish story."

I'm running 3/16 tubing on about 75 feet of elevation drop. I have two top to bottom runs and each run has 25-30 taps. My property is ideal for maximizing natural gravity.
