> The fact is, if I am not GDPR compliant in any way there is no mechanism built into the law to limit the amount I am fined

The law specifies the maximum fine, so you can't go over that. It also specifies that fines have to be proportionate. If you think the fine is disproportionate you have the right to appeal - that is also built into the law. If you think the appeal erred in law you get further rights of appeal. If your country hasn't made these legal routes available to you then you can take your country to the European courts.
