The closest is the Activity Stream (AS) for a user:
{{activitystream user=“<reference of user>”/}}
As you say the default is to display only a few entries (20 by default).
However there’s a macro parameter to control this (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Activity+Macro).
Now the AS is missing some features to do what you wish:
* “Show more” button, http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9896
* Provide filtering: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6698
* Very very slow ATM, needs to be rewritten with performance in mind
So indeed right now the AS Macro is not a good choice.
However you could use the AS API and build your own UI from it:

Note that this feature would be an interesting generic feature that would
benefit from being contributed to xwiki-contrib! :) (see
http://contrib.xwiki.org).
