Wouldn't it just be, player1.maxDamage, player2.maxDamage ?

Inside your player datablock there is a property called maxDamage. It is set to 100 for the ork. You can change this value in you datablock. This property is referenced in ShapeBaseData, which the playerData is inherited from.

If it's a dynamic GUI that displays depending on the character, youl'd do something like:

In your client script referencing the max health part of your HUD
clientCmdSetGUIMaxHealth( %health ){
  playerHealthGUI.setText(%health);
}

And in your server script somewhere when you've selected your player and have a reference to them
commandToClient( %player.client, 'SetGUIMaxHealth', %player.getDatablock().maxDamage );
