By WMS spec, if not otherwise specified, you get back only the first result.
You can get more result if you ask for more than one
adding &FEATURE_COUNT=nn, for example:

http://demo1.geo-solutions.it/playground/GeoSolutions/wms?REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_xml&BBOX=-32.60931%2C22.486191%2C69.31031%2C74.309727&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&X=375&Y=174&INFO_FORMAT=text%2Fhtml&QUERY_LAYERS=GeoSolutions%3Acities&Layers=GeoSolutions%3Acities&WIDTH=649&HEIGHT=330&format=image%2Fpng&styles=&srs=EPSG%3A4326&FEATURE_COUNT=50
