I'm kind of amazed when I see some guys reporting 65 pushups or more at a point, at the same time I would love to inquire if you'll do it low and fast or move down until your chest is almost touching the floor and then move up until your arms are straight up cos I'm thinking it's more difficult and tasky when done slowly.
Perhaps your consistencies are paying off and your bodies are already more accepting of the exercise. I can hardly go above 25 at a go for now so I achieve 50 in two or three sets for a session, but I believe I'll get better in due time though.

Each guy needs to determine for himself the extent to which he values quantity over quality and/or what standard of pushup that he is going to do and/or report.
For sure there is value in consistency in order to attempt to measure our own improvements (if any), yet for sure, there is no guarantee that guys
** are doing pushups that other guys would deem as "acceptable."
**Sure, I use the term "guy" with a certain level of purposeful seeming presumptiveness while acknowledging that sure there might possibly be a gal or two in the mix of pushers..."hi Timelord2067" In the very beginning, I certainly emphasized quantity over quality, and I likely still error on the quantity end of my own weighing of preferences, yet over the last year, I have also increased my own measurements that have allowed me to gravitate somewhat more in the direction of improving my own quality, yet I still am no stickler in regards to what guys have to do, since we truly are going to have different ideas, and there is almost no fucking way that I would expect guys to need to prove their pushups beyond largely what we have been doing and guys choosing the extent to which they describe their pushup particulars, which is also optional.
By the way, since the beginning I slowly gravitated up to 5 pushup sets per day, and since about mid-October, I have purposefully included one slow set per day.. my other pushup sets are tending to be fast and right around 1 second per pushup. My slow sets tend to range mostly between 3-5 seconds per pushup with most times falling right around 3.5-ish seconds per, and so that daily slow set will tend to include 20-25 pushup per set with around 75 to 95 seconds for the total time of that daily slow set.
My normal set is slated for 2 seconds per pushup and beyond just going down and up. I ensure that my body is fixed and only allow my arms and elbow to do the movements, preventing any part of my body to sag in the process. I lay my emphasis on quality and not just quantity and I have the belief that the more consistent I get with quality, it would be a part of me and pushing myself to get more numbers would slowly give the quantity. while still maintaining quality.
