I believe this got covered a page or two back...
Anyhow the Boeing Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM) for a bigger Boeing twin is quite explicit in stating that in the event of a rapid descent you descend at a target speed of Mmo or Vmo unless structural damage is suspected, in which case “limit air speed and avoid high manoeuvring loads”...I suspect the 737 FCTM might contain similar comment....
