I will try...
First Watt Amp requiring 24V DC are using transformer with an output voltage of 18v (AC, RMS). Peak output would be 18*sqrt(2)=18*1.414=25.45volts. Then the bridge rectifier is taking something like 1.6volts to give 23.85volts.
For F5 Turbo V2 https://www.firstwatt.com/pdf/art_f5_turbo.pdf 48Volts DC is needed, 36volts @transfomer output is suggest. (36*1.414)-1.6=49.3
So, if i were to using transformer + bridge rectifier + bank of caps, i would go with a 28volts @output transformer (28*1.414)-1.6=37.9 volts.
[26v output would give (26*1.414)-1.6=35.16, might be too low?. Bridge rectifier voltage drop increasing with current, one might use 2volts... hence 28v transformer]]
There are websites to do a betterwork than that i remember.
That's what i learned / think i have learned.
If mistaken, please tell me! [i might have misunderstood "how large"... If power rating, then yes, i have misunderstood]

I used a 300VA transformer, and your after ~36VDC, loaded for a Ship so 28VAC secondaries.
