  Try looking at International Rectifier's web page. I don't know the exact URL, but you can do a search and find it easily enough. Or, go to digikey's web page www.digikey.com and do a search for HEXFREDs. I have used 1200V, 16A HEXFREDs with my amp which only required maybe 4-6 amp rectifiers and am VERY pleased with the results. The noise floor was greatly reduced and bass response improved a good amount. It was a great mod and for $35, who could ask for more.

  Good luck, Digikey should get you where you want to be. Just pick a HEXFRED that is rated for about twice the operating voltage and with an appropriate current rating and go for it.
