It's been Thann in North America and Asia and Acca Kappa in Europe since 2013, but some properties (like the Marriott County Hall in London) stock other brands. I believe the Renaissance Paris Arc de Triomphe used Bulgari when my friend stayed there a couple years ago. So based on this, I think there's nothing keeping a hotel from exceeding the minimum, as Bulgari tends to be common in suites.
For what it's worth, Marriott seems to buy all of its toiletries from Sysco, which is listed in small print on each bottle. I found this Sysco catalog (flip to page 636 of the PDF for toiletries from Bulgari, Acca Kappa, etc.):

I'm sure Marriott gets even better prices, but the public price is $0.55 per bottle of shampoo for Aromatherapy Associates. I couldn't find the Bulgari price through Sysco, but a survey of Singapore housekeepers from 2002 put the price of a Bulgari bottle of shampoo at $3.47, which seems high.
