In previous versions of IntelliJ IDEA, I'd always go into the "run configuration template settings" area and increase the number of run configurations from 5 to 15.
How do I do that with IDEA 2021.1?

EDIT: this answer no longer works as of 2021.3.2 (may have happened on previous versions, this is when I noticed it).
The registry entry will still be there if you edited it previously, but will no longer work to extend the list of run configurations.
I can't see how to do it using the UI, but it can be done via the Idea "Registry".
Open the Maintenance dialog be pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+/ and select the "Registry".
Set the value for run.anything.context.recent.directory.number to whatever you want.
Edit: also consider changing temporary.configurations.limit.
As of 2021.3.2, IntelliJ has re-introduced a UI mechanism for configuring the number of "temporary configurations".
