Here's a list with "recoil energy" :

As another poster has noted, the 45-70 is available in a number of loadings and is evidently amenable to being "hot-rodded" by handloaders. The generic 45-70 recoil energy is unremarkable even given the 7# rifle it was calculated with.
Nevertheless, the 45-70 quite adaptable and can get downright memorable in modern arms. In other words, YMMV - A LOT.
'Course, I suppose the truly penitant could "hot-rod" the Rigby - it's been around since 1912 and the factory loads are relatively low pressure. Tamara has a way with words:
