[AMPS] HV Power Supply Capacitors

[John Lockhart]

I purchased some small (approx. 1.5" X 2.0") Rubycon
electrolytic capacitors to use in a high voltage power
supply for an amplifier.  Now I see that one of the 
amplifier manufacturers says in one of their ads that 
"short, stubby light duty soldered-in high-technology 
capacitors" "can't dissipate the heat generated by high
current."

Is this true?  How do you determine if an electrolytic
capacitor can handle duty in a SSB amplifier power
supply?

Thanks!
