This style of alternator seems to be something new on the market and sounds like it might be something of interest to our needs. Perhaps it is one of the many advances in technology one can find in foreign countries but still not for sale in the US.

Denso makes them. The stock 150A alternators on the Sienna are square conductor "hairpin" stator, I think. (might have gotten the amperage, and the model wrong lol)
Active rectification is something you have to custom fit. I looked into Schottky diodes, the leakage is really high and probably would not be good for this application. TBH it shouldn't be that hard to make a primitive one.
