Basically, semi-analytic models go all crazy non-linear for high mass galaxies. On the left is a grid of SAM of 10^10 M_sun galaxies for different star formation and feedback efficiencies. The right shows the corresponding 10^12 M_sun models. From top to bottom is total mass, stellar mass, and SDSS U-band magnitude respectively.
