I'm using a Pi 2B as a lightweight home office server. The lshw
output says size: 100Mbit/s and capacity: 100Mbit/s for the ethernet >connection, & it's plugged into the router, which is plugged into the
cable modem (both cables are fairly short).
Are there other limitations on how fast the Pi can receive data that
would explain lower than expected results from speedtest-cli?

You've not said what results you're getting....
My own tests with iperf on the early Pi's LAN to LAN showed that it could almost saturate a 100Mb connection, but remember the Pi's Ethernet is
on USB which is half duplex only, so if downloading from the Interwebs
and storing to a file on a USB drive will give fairly meaningless results.
