Did something like that about 40 years ago. In our case we had to
bridge each diode with a small capacitor and large resistance resistor
because when seeing the reverse voltage, they did not all turn off fast
enough.


Hm... Were you trying to rectify a 60 Hz sinewave?


Well, first thing you need is a big capacitor...
