Yup, Oxford Superlex gives,
montón (b)
(gran cantidad): había un montón de gente = there were loads o (BrE) masses of people (colloq); tiene montones de amigos = she’s got loads o (BrE) masses of friends (colloq); me duele un montón = it hurts like hell (colloq); me gusta un montón = I’m crazy about her/it (colloq); tiene discos a montones = she’s got heaps o stacks of records (colloq); la gente los compra a montones = people buy them by the barrelful o cartload :)
