As the world's top collector of bottles, Ron has ten times as many bottles as does Marry, a mere hobbyist.


Is "as does" correct here or should it be "has"?

I'd say neither. You have a ** AS ... AS idiom.

Ron has ten times AS MANY bottles AS Mary, a mere hobbyist.

I believe you can have does or remove it, both are grammatically correct.

Agree. We can add it or remove it, both will work.
My doubt is as we need parallel sentences in comparison, shouldn't it be-
Ron has ten times as many bottles as has Marry, a mere hobbyist.
