Can push ups give me a massive chest with a lot of muscle mass or do they only tone and give your chest a little bit of muscle and then plateau you.

Well you could always progress to single-arm push-ups, feet-elevated single arm push-ups and handstand push-ups (mostly shoulders). A weighted vest would also help.
"Massive" is very unlikely, though.
Why are you asking? Do you not have access to weights, or...?"Listen, I want you to come down here and go dancing with me and we'll have fun together. You know you like The Spaniard, you know you like The Sith Lord, you know that. Hello? You're blushing, I know you're into The Sith Lord, I know it! Hello? Hello? Helloooo? Aww I lost connection."

Pushups like any exercise will build muscle provided their is progressive over load. At some point in order to overcome plateaus you will need to add resistance and/or make the pushups more difficult by altering your hand spacing. If you don't new muscle will not be created. Doing more will most likely create more endurance but probably not any more mass. At this point your best bet is to invest into a weighted vest.
Good Luck.
