3MZ Sienna has a 150A. I think you just need to change the plug on it though.

there's a couple of sellers on ebay that sell a 180-200amp unit... I'm assuming they're just rebuilt units with new internals to support the much higher amperage, or however it works.

do NOT. I repeat DO NOT get that rewounded junk on ebay. Go with mechman. Trust me. I got the 220A idle max. couldn't be happier. save your time and headache and just trust me. the others are BS. just deal with MECHMAN or possibly DCpower. Do your research. You will see what I'm talking about.
