In my games as a russian, I empty the RVGK of new units as soon as possible because I think that otherwise next turn I receive less reinforcements due to the limit of the HQ capacity (25 units I think). For the same cause, I don't assign any lower HQ to RVGK.
I keep its replacement level to 100 hoping to receive better replenished units, but this is only just in case.
Is this correct? If the russian receive more units than the RVGK capacity, where do they go?

Fabio,

You are correct about RVGK, if there is no room then the Russian replacement units wait until there is room in RVGK. If you were to run the game from the 41 start until mid 43 without combat or removing any units fro RVGK, it would take weeks of emptying RVGK before all the units were introduced into the game.

More than that, they still drain your replacements in some way, but their power remains unchanged. At lease I have very strong feeling that this happens with airgroups. Still not absolutely sure.
Usualy infantry gets 30 squads/week, so if you set replacement level to 100 in OKH you have a chance to have Brandenburg division in October'41 fighting for Moscow at full strength and experience of 80+.
