The control pilot PWM signal at maximum duty only gets you 32A (~7kW). It doesn't matter how much the circuit breaker is rated for; the car isn't going to draw appreciably more than 32A. Higher charging currents are instead handled by distributing it across multiple phases. For example, a 3-phase 230V EVSE will give you ~22kW.
EDIT: Even-higher-still vehicle charging is handled by having a charger outside of the vehicle and feeding the vehicle with DC, which is what e.g. Tesla Superchargers do.
