Usually the current rating is the RMS current. With a capacitive input supply the RMS current can be many times the output current. 3:1 is common.

With a good choke input supply, the RMS current and DC output current are essentially the same.

Play safe and play longer! Don't be an "OUCH!" casualty.
Unplug it, discharge it and measure it (twice) before you touch it.
. . .Oh!. . .Remember: Modifying things voids their warranty.
