How many z-levels do you think it takes to find magma? Or at what z-level did you find it?

Depends on the world and where you embark (volcanoes have it quite close to the surface :) ), but in general it seems to be in the 50-60 z-level range for me.

My last fort had the bottom magma-layer at z-level 168 the current one has it at 62, both with the same world gen settings. It is quite random.

The luckiest you can get is finding a magma tube, or I suppose embarking on a volcano.
