Note that I started with the (stated) assumption that the supply put
out a stable 20 amps of current. For me, "stable" means "clean" as
well as "consistent". If it can't do that, then supplies that do
aren't so expensive as to be worth fighting a poor one, it seems to
me.
But if the supply is clean and the only problem is high voltage, a
power rectifier will drop the voltage a bit.
Putting it on a scope is the only way to assess how clean it is.
