Jan 5, 2011 at 23:47 comment added Peter Krautzberger Even though it's the opposite of an answer to your question, I thought it might be worthwhile to mention it as a comment. To go beyond classes one could build on Victoria Marshall's work jstor.org/stable/2274862. She starts from Bernay's theory of classes with a reflection principle. Unfortunately, her work is an anti-answer to your question -- the theories yield increasingly large cardinals...
Jan 5, 2011 at 23:03 comment added Theo Buehler Feferman has some papers on that, together with a thorough discussion of foundations of category theory. They are accessible from math.stanford.edu/~feferman/papers.html In "Typical ambiguity ..." he shows that you can add a countable sequence of universes and still get a conservative extension of ZFC and in "Enriched stratified systems ..." he discusses some different approaches and also the relation to Morse-Kelley.
Jan 5, 2011 at 22:55 comment added arsmath Do you have something in mind that would be different from Kelley-Morse set theory?
