And of course, from the observation that ZFC* is acceptable on basis of our picture of the world of sets, we see that ZFC** with a second truth predicate covering also formulas involving the truth predicate of ZFC* is also acceptable, and similarly for ZFC*** and so forth.

How do this sequence of theories fit in with Morse-Kelly set theory?
I'm pretty sure that ZFC* is still a subtheory of MK, but I'm not
sure about ZFC**.

All the theories ZFC*, ZFC**, ZFC*** and so forth, and the theory with autonomously iterated hierarchy of predicative proper classes I outlined are interpretable in MK in a natural fashion. MK is much stronger than any of these theories, and proves in particular their soundness for sentences in the language of set theory.
