The generator limitation is more due to the size of the brushes than the 
windings. I don't think you can expect to increase the output by much and 
still have reasonable lifetime. 35-40A might be reasonable, but 50A is 
excessive. 

Of course 50A occasionally for brief periods would be fine. Most of the time 
our total usage (= output) is only around 15A anyway.
