I think you'll find a 160 ohm ESR transformer has horrible
regulation.
The hypersil in the AL12 series for example has about 10
ohms of secondary resistance. The AL-811 around 20 ohms ESR.
With 160 ohms secondary resistance the value of capacitance
does not matter nearly as much, so I'd not worry about
having higher values of C. As Steve points out, all it does
is complicate stored energy problems.
I'd look at that transformer real close before using it.
Odds are it was never designed for capacitor input solid
state supplies.
