It doesn't need the same amount of capacitance as a solid state supply to produce equivalent amounts of energy because the voltage is so much higher.

Barry1 Hi thanks for your information.
Now it is clear. I had not considered that ss Amp work with less voltage.
Now we can calculate the energy of a power supply
"Monster" as the Gryphon Mephisto having 500000 microfarads. Considering 75v, gives a result of
1406 joules.
Ref 110 has 520 joules
Ref 150 has 1040 joules
Ref 250 has 1900 joules
