Having said that, there is a point of diminishing returns for increasing the cap size. The point of the caps is to smooth out the DC ripple voltage as it comes off the bridge rectifier. The + caps do this by charging on the voltage ramp-up (even though it is small) and then slowly discharging as the voltage ramps back down, the - caps do the opposite. The caps discharge so slowly that the voltage does not have time to drop and the DC ripple is removed. At some point the caps are discharging slower than they need to and not accomplishing anything except looking cool.
That's how I understand it.
