You'll never get it in a p/s.
Yes, you will, any camera with RAW should do that. I measured 10-11 stops
with my G3 a few years ago. The darkest few stops look a bit nasty, but
they're quite acceptable provided you don't lighten the darkest shadows too
much.

You can always take multiple exposures and layer mask them if you want the
best quality.

Actually you do better to use HDR for multiple exposures.

HDR is not for everyone, as layer masks give much more control.
Also, it's quite possible to get a nice bump in latitude by layering a
few different developments from one RAW file.
