Take your scene with about 1/10th the object count.
Use some complex layered textures.
Make them partialy transparent and add some variable reflection.
Add an interior block with ior, dispersion and color fading. Crank op 
max_trace_level to 255 as you'll need that.
Add some blured reflection,... and refraction.

Turn on antialiasing: +am2 +a0.01 +r5

Now, your scene that rendered in minutes will render in hours, if not days.
And you don't have any isosurface nor parametric.
