No, but if you are smart enough you can calculate it. Or the PSUD2 will show you.
I was only trying to dispel the notion that the value in the data sheet is a overall max. Many people make that mistake but it is only the max value for the condition shown. Change the condition and the max allowable value changes.
BTW I don't use capacitor input power supply filters. Mine are all choke input filters. With a critical inductance input choke between the rectifier tube and the first cap the cap can be as big as you want because the choke causes each diode (in turn) to be on for it's full half cycle and there are no current spikes. The charging current is only a tiny bit higher than the load current and is sinusoidal. Any ripple that isn't filtered out is also sinusoidal. A cap input power supply filter will have saw tooth ripple that is nasty to listen to vs. a sine wave.
I typed all of the just in case you wanted to know.
