I think it's a gram per kilo of body weight for optimal protein. At 6' 200lbs I supposedly need a bare minimum of 65g of protein, but optimal is 90-120, and for dieting, 165g really keeps me from being hungry. That's a ton of protein already.

And someone pointed out, if you're getting stanky protein poops, you're just shitting out protein your body isn't using.

Don't listen to soyentists that don't want you to pack on endless meat brother. Those farts and shits are a gift from Brodin.

On a serious note, the 'excess' protein isn't about adding extra muscle, it's about suppressing appetite for people who want to cut, maintain or just not over eat when they're bulking. Protein is just the best way.

It's 1g per lean pound of bodyweight optimally, so your 165g is probably about right assuming you aren't shredded to the bone. Still, anything beyond that is good for weight maintenance and managing appetite.
