That's a Question for Steamhead
Hi- I'm afraid I really can't be of much help to you as being a homeowner I don't have that much practical experience in this area. The person you want to ask is "Steamhead" as he has a lot of experience with hot water zones off steam boilers.. You might want to take a look at his past posts as he discusses hot water circuits off steam systems from time to time.
From what I've learned you may want to use a heat exchanger as while it is theoretically possible to go that high with a single loop, you are far less likely to run into problems and have a more satisfactory outcome if you use a heat exchanger.

You can see the basic hookup in this thread

This one is serving an indirect, but the hookup for an air handler would be similar.
