Me parece que "I can't put up with" suele ir acompañado de "any longer / any more".

I can't stand X I can't bear X no soporto X
I'm fed up with X I can't put up with X any more estoy harto de X ya no soporto X

I'm re-reading some old discussions and have found this one interesting because the example and all comments after it are in the negative: "no soportar".

How is it used in a less negative sense? (It seems to me that there is no truly "positive" sense to this word.)

Would it be something like this?
Soporto la tardanza de mis estudiantes. El edificio es muy grande. Es imposible a caminar de un extremo a otro en siete minutos.

Igual se use más aguantar cuando no va en negativo.

Just to be clear, then - "soportar" is always used with "no" or some other negation?

Not really. Think of it in English "bear", "stand".

I bear/stand the cold very well.
