Properly protected with a code required  P/T valve this is a non-issue. Todd Conrad Geyser wrote: Drake, Yes the tank can overheat is the answer! Anybody doing this should be aware of the explosive nature of superheated water in a pressurized tank. Assuming that you are using an insulated tank, you need plenty of storage. It also helps to run the water coming from the bottom of the tank (to your coil) through some baseboard so once the tank is heated to the bottom it starts dumping heat as more is gathered.
