What is the benefit upgrading a rectifier bridge with higher peak voltage?
please share theoretical background on that issue.
Thanks!

Below is the IR technical sheet at their web site. (Note, Adobe Acrobat is needed.) http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/hfa06pb120.pdf I have installed these in a number of audio components with great success. These devices are less tolerant of turn on transients and therefore should be rated approximately 20% over the original specification.
