According to this Quora question, the best you can do using the North American Scrabble dictionary is CRYPTO(Z)OOLOGY and QUART(Z), giving a total of 171 points. The setup should look something like this:
...However, that's not the best you can do. We're looking at the highest possible score.
The rules of Scrabble do not prevent players from playing invalid words. There are rules for challenging someone you think has played an invalid word, and if the challenge is correct, the play will be reversed. But if players decide not to challenge, the word remains.
So, with particularly cooperative (or particularly stupid) players, the best you can do...
...is 303 points.
