If the secondary is 9 volts at 3 amp, running it at 115v you would have 4.5 volts at the same 3 amps. You will lose the voltage but will not increase the amperage rating for the secondary. Just like running your transformer off a VARIAC at half power, it wont hurt anything if you don't pull more than its rating.
