I'm hearing both answers to this, and the FAQ/Errata/Rule update situation in 40k is somewhat hard to keep track of. From what I see in my original rule book he could not, as he cannot cast one power more than once, with no exception for Smite. The matched play rule on page 215 seems to be mistaken by some to grant them this, but in the English words used there, it clearly isn't the case.

No. BRB Page 178: "A psyker cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in a turn." Even if you could manifest 43 powers, only 1 can be Smite.

Im probably thinking of the previous edition where he could cast 3 spells of the same kind or something stupid.
