Using a 100Amp Turbo Alternator 200 1988

I've been having this discussion w/ non-Volvo car people and a few of them have argued a larger Amp (100 instead of 80) alternator could:
1. Blow up/Start an electric fire
3. Fry something
2. Decrease fuel economy
I personally don't see why this would hurt anything and have a 100amp alt. sitting here. Are these theorized claims at all substantiated? Pros Cons? Thanks.

Sorry if this is been posted on several times before but I cant navigate well on the search(or just lazy).
