What about core saturation?
Do you have a model for that?

Also the diodes for the bridge won't get
away with 0.6V, i.e. the resistance will
be not 0.

m.c.

This is highly nonlinear stuff, so the best solution is a Spice
simulation. Make a parameter sweep for the capacitor value
in a transient simulation, and you'll have the answer.
