It's not quite clear what you mean by "peak", but it sounds as if that
could be peaks of more than a few milliseconds. If that's the case, a power
supply designed for 28 A may or may not help you. 

I'd try to buy one. Other than that, you can go simple linear (with big
heat sinks), switched (which probably is not trivial for 40+ A), or linear
with several parallel supplies that get switched on or off as the current
requires. Or something else... :)

That could cause quite some inrush current. (BTW, there's "milli", too: 100
mF is easier to read :)
