It also is controlled by the voltage across the rotor. If you put a 65amp reg on a 55amp alt you will get 65 amps from it. I have done that, If you put 12 volts across the rotor, depending on the load, you will get much more, The flux saturation of the frame will have a bigger effect on the voltage & current.
