For continiously rated caps try using flourescent tube balast caps.
Here in the UK they are around 10uF from a 125watts light fitting. Ten
of those in parallel will make 100uF and 1250watts of power handling.

Would using the caps in series with the power transformer act as PFC
and current limiting balast?

All you need is a skip full of old fittings and a pair of side cutters.
