The bottom line is that each diode carries half the current. Paul added that simply complying with the DC output rating doesn't mean the rectifier is necessarily within the more important peak current limitation. Peak current varies as a function of input capacitance and the resistance of both the source and load. If you know those values, PSU will give you a good idea as to peak current.
