Bela, as I understand it, the regulation is wholly dependent on the battery.
There is nothing else in the system, anyway. The cut out is just that - it cuts the dynamo out of the system if it isn't making 6 to charge the battery, and cuts in when the voltage hits 6 as required. Or 12, if the system has been modified.
The dynamo may not be regulated, but it is limited - it should only give about 8 to 10 amps at 6 volts, this is decided by how much you take off and feed back into the field windings.
So the power in the system (volts times amps) is under control. And there must be an upper limit to what the dynamo gives in volts. I doubt it would run a 48 volt system.
To repeat: there is the dynamo, the battery, and the cut out. Nothing else in the generating system.
