Next step is to increase the dia of the alternator sheave. (A 2:1 engine/alternator ratio should be OK). It will decrease the alternator output but also the belt loading which is your problem. BTW, "Belt wrap" is defined ans the numbers of degrees the belt is wrapped around the sheave. 90-120 is just about as low as you can go and is normally found on 3 point drives(Engine, water pump & alternator). A 2 point drive will be at least 150 degrees of wrap.
