I doubt if the AC is at 120 volts.

I've no idea what it actually is and I hope someone more knowledgeable will chime in, but I really doubt if the AC being generated is any where the 120v you seem to assume. If I had to guess, I'd say that it was probably in the 15v range as a simple rectifier doesn't do anything to change the amplitude of the voltage, just turns the AC into pulsating DC.
