Andy!

Well, I assume that your run of the mill power semiconductor device can be
coaxed into this sort of surge performance.  But you have to wonder if you are
going down the right path when you have to wear goggles and a vest when you
are working on your prototype (or a badge of stupidity).  It is just a
thought, but why not try one of the big tubes?  Granted, not your mainstream
device, and it all depends on whether this device is for a particle
accelerator or the next transistor radio.  You might start with Richardson
Electronics (sic?) in new england.
