Several people have asked me why rectified AC results in a higher voltage output(1.4x the AC input). Hopefully this video will help people to understand why that occurs. The handheld O-scope used in this video is a Velleman HPS50.
120VAC = around 170-180 Volts Peak = around 350-360 Volts Peak to Peak. 120VAC = around 170 VDC when rectified ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GvlGUbiPRo
