And when you say the data size is smaller, you mean per node? Or sum of all nodes in the datacenter?
With 185 hosts in AWS vs 135 in your DC, I would expect your DC hosts to have 30% less data per host than AWS. If instead they have twice as much, it sounds like it's balancing by # of tokens instead, which may be an indication that you're somehow using SimpleStrategy, or your NetworkTopologyStrategy is somehow misconfigured for one or more keyspaces. Can you paste your keyspace replication strategy lines, anonymized as needed?
