The PY81 is a pretty fast diode and is good for 10Khz as a rectifier. They were made to rectify line pulses in order to feed the energy back to the power supply. This is why they are called boost diodes.
They have very good insulation between the cathode and heater making them good for full wave bridge rectifiers working at hundreds of volts.
You just have to remember that the top cap is live at all times.
With the transformer you will have to check the insulation from all windings to the core. Data sheets are harder to find for doing this.
