I thought the same may occur with replacement parts so decided on the new Denso.
When you replaced the alternator, did you also replace the alternator wiring that goes to the battery? I looked at my wiring this morning and I am sure it is 10 gauge wire (approx. 5 mm2) which is quite small.
I am thinking of adding (in parallel) additional 6 awg wire (13 mm2) from the alternator to the battery. Has anyone done this? Did you put it into another sleeve for additional mechanical protection?
