It's the DC resistance that limits the primary current once the core
is saturated, not the inductance.

When the core is saturated the effective inductance is zero. Think
about the B-H loop diagram for a transformer.

You misunderstand.

I was referring to the saturation of the current, which is limited by the
secondary load.

Are you referring to saturation of the diodes in the rectifier connected
to the secondary?
