Literally 'tutti' means 'all', but keep in mind that - no two organs are identical, - on some, using all stops would not give the desired result, - registration is always the responsability of the player. For example if you have strong 16' on a manual including it in a 'tutti' may not be a good idea since it will effectively transpose down everything by an octave. Idem for some typical strong solo stops. There are two similar terms, 'plenum', and 'ripieno'. Neither of them mean 'all', rather they refer to all stops (starting at 8' and up) of a same family, or a combination that includes (almost) all harmonics of an 8'. On some organ that may amount to 'all', but that is not the real meaning.
