There’s no given amperage coming out of the wall, it’s a product of V=IR. Given a constant resistance for the person’s body, three times the voltage does means three times the current.
“Voltage doesn’t kill you, current does” is a bad statement that’s often repeated. You don’t get current without voltage.
An eel can only generate so much power, so essentially the voltage will drop so that the power will be lower.
600V at 0,1A will just turn to, say, 100V at 0,6A if the resistance between two points will be 1667 Ohm.
To keep voltage at 600V (and subsequently deliver 0,36A) you need a power source that can deliver 3,6 times more power.
In that sense, amperage is super important. We should always consider capabilities of the power source, this is big part of electrical grid engineering.
