Will it work for you to use

https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/PC/PCMGGetSmoother.html

to pull out the KSP for the level you're interested in (Note link to
PCMGGetSmootherDown() if you want to control up and down smoothers
separately) and then use

https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/KSP/KSPSetTolerances.html

to set the maximum iterations?
