A 20€ million fine for that would not be proportionate, nor would they have taken into account the relevant factors ("the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement [...] as well as [...] and the level of damage suffered by them").

Edit: typo (proportional->proportionate)

Can you point to any excessive fines imposed by the German regulators under existing law?

No, but they've never had the extraterritorial reach being claimed by the EU within the GDPR either.
