Sure you can, you look at the IP address and see who it is.  In my reports I
see bursts of authentication failures from hosts that are obviously mailing
list servers, and lots of failures in China which are random spambots.

No, that's not what they're for and they don't have the necessary
info.  There are systems that compile data for IP reputation but
that's not what DMARC is.  The point of DMARC is to try to tell "is
this message really from X", not "is this message spam."
