you could form any of the cases chambered in the model 94 from .25-35 to that ol' .375 if you want to go to the trouble. 
as far as those cases absorbing higher pressure... I'd like to see a sectioned hull compared to, say, a .30-30. before the cutting I'd wager that they just ain't any difference. and, the gun is more the concern as to high pressure anyhow.

Dont believe everything you hear. Sectioned cases for all cartridges based on the 30-30 size case head are all the same, at least all that I have seen.
The heavier or thicker web in the 375 win case was a myth, an advertising hoax to boost sales. 
  If the web was thicker then the internal case volume would be reduced.
I believe the original big bore 94 had some extra steel (wider) behind the locking lug.

Back when I had an FFL I bought a new American Bald Eagle Commemorative 375 from the distributor and kept it for a year or two in the box and then sold it to a friend for $300.
Bet it is worth more than that now.

375 win in a Marlin model 375 was one of my carry guns in Alaska too. I loaded mine with a 350 grain LBT-LFN bullet to 1550 fps. Cast hard that load penetrated well.
  For some odd reason that I never understood Winchester techs stayed with the traditional 1/12" standardized by the 375 H&H rifling twist rate for their 375 Big Bore. They never offered any factory ammo loaded with a bullet weight anywhere near what the 1/12" twist will handle.
  We know that the 375 H&H was loaded with a 350gn bullet option so I felt motivated to try.  The 375 Win cant get close to the velocity of the H&H but the LBT 350gn LFN bullet being a homogenous alloy is shorter than its jacketed counterpart so requires les rotational velocity to be stabilized. It was a good match to the cartridge for a bone crushing deep penetrating load.  Still available too.

The '94 in .375 had chubby sidewalls at the rear to give more metal around the locking lugs.
