I'm also having doubts about the diode's ratings. I think perhaps something
like an MBR735 could fare better with it's rating of 7.5 amps. At the
current price (no pun intended) of about 8 cents each from BG Micro, it
could be easily cost-effective to give it a try... if it fails, not out too
much $$$. :)
