I've got two. First off, the controller you got isn't the right thing. They have dial style controllers at Home Depot that cost $10 that function like a potentiometer on a 12V fan. You could try to use the right part for the job.
That said, you could also emulate the resistance of the light bulb, if indeed that works.
120V x I = 75W, I = .625A
VI = R
R = 75 Ohms
Put a 75 Ohm resistor that can handle the power load in the circuit in series and you'll be pimpin.
Honestly, since you'll be spending $$$ on resistors to get that kind of power load, you're better off buying the right part for $10. It is called a ceiling fan controller switch and has a knob like a dimmer.
