Your AC source should be set to 170V. 120V*√2=170V

I wish I could specify RMS from Pk value. If that's how it works here then I'll change it. Thanks

question? why capacitor in paraler after full bridge wont increase a voltage about cca 40% as it is normaly doing in reality? I dont understand that behaviour.

It won't increase the voltage. The capacitor charges to output voltage and helps to smooth out the signal, where if you didn't have one at all, the voltage across the load would go from 9.5V to 0. The capacitor prevents the voltage from dropping too drastically. It only drops about 0.1 volts
