You are every consistent.

Have you seen any good gains by training calves so frequently?

They get pumped pretty good.  My calves are just average though.  I don't measure them but they are proportional to my body.

Lately I've been doing 75+ reps total, as many sets to get at least 75 (usually 3-4 sets) with no more than 10 seconds rest between sets.

I train them just about every workout so around 4-5 times a week.

I hardly ever trained calves when I was young.

Cool, i find mine respond well to high reps.

But i have good calves due to genetics, so i think most anything helps.

I like to train them in the 20-30 rep range.

Have not clean & pressed in my garage for about 3 weeks because I've had tendonitis in my left forearm (goes back about 20 years to an injury and recurs periodically if I screw it up).  It's been feeling better so gave it a shot and we'll see.
I've been doing seated front presses.  I noticed the seated presses increased my strength in the standing press.
