I've been playing Pokemon Go since its release and have utilized the "Transfer" option to my advantage (to increase the level of my other Pokemon). However, I have only seen one candy being dropped every time I transfer a Pokemon to the Professor. Is the maximum amount of candy you can obtain from a Pokemon 1, or are there factors that enable you to gain more than one candy?

Every Pokemon you transfer will only give you 1 candy when you're transferring it. Even when that Pokemon is evolved.
When you catch a Pokemon you will always get 3 candies.
When you get a Pokemon from an egg, you normally get a much higher number of candies with it for free. Compare this table, from a reddit thread:
