I'll just betcha the bridge IS running hot. Nevetheless, if the orientation of the cap is correct and it is not near a hot running object, then the problem will, most certainly, be that of poor ripple current ability. You may need to seek out a cap, with the appropriate ripple current ability.You mention other caps, which are under heavier load. Do you know that, for sure? A filament supply for an amp, or preamp, is quite a tough load, in terms of ripple.
