Just specify more than one keyid on the encrypt command line:

$ gpg -ear keyid1 keyid2 keyid3 keyid4 keyidN

As atom hinted, you can specify recipient keys in gpg.conf and if you are in 
control of user gpg.conf files, as you claimed, you could specify the list 
there.

Administrating this kind of system will require exponentially more input the 
more users you enlist.

Wouldn't an encrypted filesystem be an alternative?
