When you do solo mining, if you found a block, at which address will you receive the block reward?

Say you have 100 addresses in a wallet running full node, will each block reward paid to a different address in that wallet? What if 100 addresses all been used up?

This is a question for pool operator, since a pool can find hundreds of blocks in a day

If you googled, or at least searched a bit. You would've found on blockchain, that for example BTCGuild constantly uses the same address for block discovery. I expect the client to automatically grab its first address if none is specified. But to get the details, you would most likely have to dig into the source code of the pool-miner you want to use.

As far as I know the client creates a new address for every block you find if you do solo mining.
Most pools do it differently. They create the new block with their pool software and can put any address they want in there.
