About...

  I'll be recapping the filter caps in my hf amp and replacing the original 
filter caps which are 210 mfd @ 450 wvdc with some that are 530 mfd @ also 
450 wvdc(same physical dimensions and also same price). Now what I'm 
concerned about is whether this will pose some problems with the existing hv 
rectifiers which are MR-510 rated at 1000 vdc and 3 amps or should I be 
replacing them with something beefier than those? What is a real good source 
with good price for better replacements diodes?
    Thanks from Fern

Fern (I don't know your call sign),

Those existing rectifiers are just fine.
