Advice Needed On Recapping Power Amp

Well, I guess that I'm a garage operator.... I have always made sure that my rectifiers would handle the current, other than that, I've always increased capacitance without fear.  This is the 3rd time that I've worked on my Sumo, a couple of times ago, I replaced its rectifiers. This time I took it to a friends house and  I increased the power supply my self. He has the amp now finishing up a few mods and repairs from a lightening strike. I consider my old friend to be one of the best old school audio engineers ever. He is not as well known as some, but I've been with him rubbing shoulders with some of the best and trust him implicitly.   

Well I always liked extra power until I realized that in Toyota cars and trucks everywhere everything is perfect at any time and can’t be improved without trade offs — that what was just pronounced by my 2002 Tundra 5mt v6 466 kmi all original afrer 23’ camper long haul 1200mi from ski resort.

It was lovely white winter this year!
Would never mind the other one

I've been in garage operation when I was 16, building EL34 100W amplifiers with components I could find around including chassis made of heavy aluminum trays that fish store nearby tossed out, but when it became my profession for the last 40 years I've learned not to do anything that I don't fully understand.  I would like to understand how do you know what peak current thru rectifier is.  Did you calculate it and how, measured it or just used rectifier that seems to be working? Did you consider max ambient temperature or max line voltage?  Did you consider shorted output condition?

Czarivey, there might be individuals who are capable of such Toyota modifications, but I place them in "exceptional talent" category. Friend of my coworker did not like how transmission in his car operated, so he designed and built his own. Certain "arrogance" and great skill are required for that. Rest of us should enjoy what we have, especially when it is really nice piece of high end audio system. There is nothing wrong with caps that match closely original ones.

Well Kijanki,  If you ever need advice in the speaker world, I understand that world  thoroughly.  As far as amps, I'll just stay in the garage.  I've enjoyed doing the few repairs and mods that I've done and to date, I've never damaged anything. So life goes on. I don't call him often for help, but if I ever need him, I've got a guru that is one of my best friends to call on.  All is good in the world.
