Replicated yes, solution just yet is a no... I did a test league tonight with similar results to yours.

I wanted a 1960's type league with around 150 HR's ave per team so I set up a league, 10 AL and 10 NL. AAA, AA, A, R + Mexican Winter League.

Imported 1961 modifiers into league, wondered about the power rating modifier dropping to .754 but went ahead anyway... first 5 seasons the teams averaged 65 HR's per team (about 1,300 total for the 20 teams), about 100 HR's short per team of what they should have been. So... raised the league total modifier to compensate the pct needed (from 1.000 to 2.500) and sure enough the totals per team fell right into the 150-170 HR ave per team bracket for years, perfect! until...

25 years later a rookie named Cox comes up, shatters the HR record (was 60 held by two guys which was fine) by hitting 76... next season the guy hits .411 with 97 HR's!... so, maybe messing with the modifier was not a good idea. So, not sure how to solve the low HR problem I had at the start with the 1961 stock modifier settings, working on it.
