The regulators will do 1A, but they need appropriate heat sinks. Also 
the rectifier is assumingly not suitable for much higher currents; also 
the capacitors might be too small. Dieter will tell details assumingly.
Larger heatsinks (like the ones for the A-100DIY) might be mounted flat 
on the rear panel; you'd have to unsolder the regulator. The rectifier 
and caps may have to be replaced with a larger one.
