We generally say "replete with something" as in " literature replete with drama and excitement "
or "This car has an engine replete with the latest technology."

No, not normally. But I've seen the word used in a post noun position.
Example
By the doo doo room with the reek replete. (from a Frank Zappa's song)
When the word is used in this way it is similar to the adjective galore.
I think you wouldn't use it like this in formal speech.
