> 950V 36uF *DC*

Oh, when you rectify a voltage you get 1.41 times Vef. If you rectify by
doubling, you get 2.82 times Vef. 950/2.82 is only 336Vef. You have only
~17 Joules in the cap, once per second is 16W. Assuming poor efficiency
etc it is still less than 50W. A small comfy DC/DC converter will power
your application easily. No iron is required. Are you sure about the cap
specs ?
