Hi Firson,
   I don't believe that any suitable semiconductor diodes are made for
that application.

   The part would need to be rated at a couple hundred volts PIV with a
reverse recovery time in the vicinity of a few nanoseconds, and rated at
a hundred milliamps or so for the original DAF.

   The only part I am aware of that would even be close would be a series
string of MBD701's (70V PIV, sub nanosecond recovery)... and I'm not sure
how happy they would be in series!

   There are some applications for which tubes yet remain the best
choice!  :-)
