Unless you can find something used, a 100+Amp, 18+volt constant current power supply is likely to cost you some serious $$. (Couple thousand)

I would probably keep my eyes open for a good DC stick or TIG welder.
Stick welders and TIG welders use a CC power source, and many are rated for a couple hundred amps at 20 Volts or greater output.

Forget using a MIG welder, they use a Constant Voltage power supply.

You're probably more likely to find a good used welder for a decent price than a genuine plating supply in the size you want.
