In this paper we deal with the following class of Hamiltonian elliptic systems
 $\begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{lcl} -\Delta u\ = g(v)&\mbox{in}&\Omega,\\ -\Delta v\ = f(u)&\mbox{in}&\Omega,\\ u\ = \ v = \ 0&\mbox{on}&\partial\Omega, \end{array}\right. \end{equation*}$
where
 $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$
is a bounded domain and
 $g$
is a nonlinearity with exponential growth condition. We derive the maximal growth conditions allowed for
 $f$
, proving that it can be of exponential type, double-exponential type, or completely arbitrary, depending on the conditions required for
 $g$
. Under the hypothesis of arbitrary growth conditions or else when
 $f$
has a double exponential growth, we prove existence of nontrivial solutions for the system.
