Hi Jimmy,
As a rule for receiving you should stand just far enough away form the table so that when you are in the Ready Position you can just touch the table.
For the topspin or loop you are in a similar position, perhaps a fraction further away from the table to allow yourself to swing freely. This will also depend on the amount of time you have.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
