Remember that you can also use two transformers in series for a power supply.
Just observe polarities so that they add.
Two 18 volt transformers rated at 10 A, with the primaries paralleled, and
the secondary's in series, will give you 36 volts AC at 10 amps, or 51 volts
DC output. This is assuming a full wave bridge rectifier, and a large value
capacitor. AC volts times 1.414 equals DC output voltage.

Hook the secondary's with two ends together, measure the other two ends to be
sure you have 2 times the secondary voltage available, If not reverse the
wires on one transformer only.
Two identical transformers can have the secondary's hooked in parallel for
double the current available.
