You can move the goalposts, but still aren't getting to "astronomical" energy, just linear with the mass. If a Dragon or Soyuz craft has fuel for 400m/s in orbit maneuvering, that's about 40m/s for a 10x more massive structure. So definitely plausible, could even happen over a large number of crew rotations.
Both crafts are automated so you could hypothetically use the payload mass and volume to deliver extra fuel tanks, with plumbing to the onboard engines. So a full orbit change could happen in a few such flights.
