Yep,

rectifier is broken.

Should I replace it with an identical or find one that can handle more current ?

Any tips on a suitable one ?

It looks like one of the rectifyer diodes is down. You can check this with a multimeter, but the rectifyer is so cheap that it is no thing to replace it.
The problem is happening only under load (massive power consumption). So, my bet is: Not the cap but the rectifyer (semi-conductor).
