The +40 life mod on a GC needs alvl 91 to spawn, which simply means ilvl 91+ for GCs.
ilvl 91+ is hard to find these days. In 1.09, Pindle and any other boss monster through most of Hell could drop these so they were plentiful. But now with the new system there are no randomly generated monsters with level that high. However, Baal (99) is not your only choice - Diablo (94) and Nihlathak (95) are also sources for suitable GCs.
There is also a set of SC affixes that only a few monsters can drop. The following list gives the affix, the alvl to spawn that on SCs, and in parentheses, the minimum ilvl to get that alvl.
Jagged 81 (90)
of Craftsmanship 85 (92)
Pestilent 88 (94)
Flaming 89 (94)
Red 90 (95)
Shocking 90 (95)
Hibernal 91 (95)
Diablo can drop up to Flaming, but only Nihlathak and Baal can drop the top 3.
Pestilent is the mod that can give the huge poison damage of which you speak. By itself it is only 175 over 6 seconds, but when you get dual poison mods on one charm the numbers can really climb. The highest possible is Pestilent of Anthrax, which is 451 over 12 seconds.
These are the only mods that require ilvl above 85, which you can get from many places.
