When $\omega RC\gg1$, the <capacitor> voltage changes little during each half-cycle. Thus $\dot V_{\mathrm{out}}\simeq V_{\mathrm{in}}/(RC)$, giving an approximately triangular output. Its extrema are
$$
\boxed{M\simeq\frac{V_0T}{4RC}=\frac{\pi V_0}{2\omega RC}.}
$$
The finite but small triangle is centered on zero for the chosen zero-mean input. A nonzero input mean shifts the output mean by the same amount.
