The alternator won't have an issue with bigger batteries, as it should be staying near full all the time. Only time this should be an issue is if you drain it completely which could make it overheat.
Also remember the CCA's is for the first 2 seconds of cranking at most, then it drops quite a lot, so the higher the better especially for cold starting. My 306 had a 62Ah 600CCA IIRC.
