No restriction on +1/+1 counters, or transferring these counters to another creatures and doubling them form there.

You are partially wrong. As turbine pointed out the ability can only grant a maxium of 7 counters. It does not say anywhere that the maxium number of has to be 7 so you are more then able to put anynumber of counters on via other means
