I have an amalgamated BCF file, containing the variant calls from the FULL GENOME of 70 individuals. 

I've run the command ...

    bcftools view  -i 'TYPE="snp" && AC=140 && GT="hom" && QUAL>20' ./<filename>.bcf | wc -l 

This should (and based on the output lines I've looked at - does) respond with any variant calls that are SNPs (only), with only one ALT, where the GT is 1/1 for ALL samples. In other words, every sample (out of 70) has this SNP, in both alleles. 

The count I got was 30704...meaning there are 30704 different SNPs that every patient shares. 

This seems...unlikely. Is this reasonable?

The ALT and REF SNPs do not always correspond to the Major/Minor allele at a SNP position.  Thus, in some cases the major allele =  ALT allele.  This could be driving the numbers you are seeing.  The other thing that could be driving these numbers is if al 70 patients are of similar ethnicity.  I would recommend looking at the raw reads for a handful of patients at a handful oh these 1/1 SNPs and confirming the SNP characterization.
