Your first sentence is poor grammar, while the 2nd and 3rd are both acceptable.
It is like saying:
1) We can't do nothing OR We can't do no more.
compared to
2) We can't do anything OR We can't do any more.
and
3) We can do nothing OR We can do no more.
1) is heard, said and written by native speakers but it is considered informal and by many to be ungrammatical.
EDIT Despite TheKojuEffect's question and my grammatically correct answer, albeit both simplistic, have been down voted, I'll persevere. At this point thanks to the comments attached, the original question has now become more interesting for me. So, I thought I'd expand my answer by including some unbiased data.
1)can't do no more
on google yields 179,000,000 results
1) can't tolerate no more
on google yields 209,000 results
2)can do no more
yields 46,100,000 results
2) can tolerate no more
yields 242,000 results
3)can't do any more
meanwhile yields 15,900,000 results while finally
3) can't tolerate any more
yields 1,160,000 results.
By looking at the data it appears that the first, "Can't do no more" which I claimed was poor grammar is however, far and away the most popular. Meanwhile, the third option can't + tolerate + any more to answer the original poster's question, is the construction people usually prefer.
