Power Supply for 4-axis CNC stepper driver

Hi, I need some help in constructing my Power Supply (my input voltage is
220 VAC, 60 Hz) for my stepper drivers. Here are the details:

Stepper Motors specifications (3 or 4 pcs., if optional 4th axis will be
installed):
2.4 VDC rated voltage,
6 A/phase rated current,
0.4 ohm resistance/phase,
3.4 mH inductance/phase,
4.2 N.m holding torque,
4 wires (bipolar)

Stepper Drivers specifications (3 or 4 pcs., if optional 4th axis will be
installed):
Output current - 7.8A max, 2.8A min,
Supply voltage - 90 VDC max, 18 VDC min
Microstepping - 2,4,8,16,32,64,128

Since I want to construct my own power supply (PS), can someone check the
following calculations:
1) I want to go 25 times of motor rated voltage (2.4VDC), so the PS output
voltage (Vo) = 60 VDC
2) Transformer secondary voltage (Vt) = Vo/1.414 = 60/1.414 = 43 VAC
3) Going for 4-axis, current = 4 motors x 6A/phase x 2phase/motor = 48 Amp
4) Normal current draw being 66.67% of total current, so Current (It) =
66.67% x 48 = 32 Amp
5) Transformer VA = VAC x It = 43 x 32 = 1376 VA
6) So, Transformer should be: Primary - 220 VAC, 1376 VA (Watts),
Secondary - 43 VAC
7) Capacitor = (80,000*It)/Vo = 80,000 * 32 / 60 = 32,000 uF and voltage
120% of Vo
8) So, Capacitor should be at least 32,000 uF, 72V or higher
9) Bridge rectifier at least 32 A, 72V

If the above are correct, what are the commercially available specifications
for:
1) Transformer
2) Capacitor
3) Rectifier

TIA!
