If you slow the simulation down enough(~8ms) you can see large amounts of current being driven through the diodes, this can be expensive as it heats up the diodes and lowers their lifetime. I'd also like to point out that 120 VAC is rather not 120 Vpeak but 170Vpeak. A good circuit that I have found very useful circuit I whipped up a while ago with a rectifier hurz made can be found here (https://everycircuit.com/circuit/6735998978097152) and is efficient at rectifying and delivering a stable source of power.

Using a surge resistor helps.
