Presumably you have the 80% modulation. If you use a spectrum analyzer  
with peak detection and a bandwidth larger than the required  
modulation bandwidth you will capture the peak of the modulation  
envelope, which would be 120 mA. In dB, that is less than 1 dB error,  
within the uncertainty of a spectrum analyzer measurement.

But your EUT and AE both need to have a common mode short to ground to  
get this level of current flowing.  Seems odd.
