RE: To answer your specific question...

"... to limit peak repetitive current"

That's right!

And the more series resistance (DCR of the secondary winding or even added series resistors) the higher the cap value can be but if all one has is the minimum stated 'resistance per plate' then the max input cap is all you can use safely.

One way to solve the problem is to use a critical inductance choke input filter and then there is no current peaking and no minimum resistance per plate requirement.

It's all in the data sheets. One just has to know how to interpret them.

Start up surge is a different issue.
