Sorry, but I still say that's not enough heat sinking, especially if it's inside a wooden box with no ventilation. The diodes will run pretty warm too. A fan might help, but with no cool air coming from outside the box, it will eventually overheat.
That heat sink on the outside of an aluminium box would be ideal.
It might only be around 5 watts or so, plus whatever the transformer chucks out, but shifting that is harder than many realise.
Power supplies are one of my "things", and as such, experience has taught me to be rather conservative.
