DF-DRSSTC sounds great.

I have made a TC using SIDAC's some time ago using up to 47 in series 
in place of the spark gap.  Recovery time and quenching prevented any 
significant performance although they work great with ignition 
coils.  I only tried it on my 4 inch coil though and not my 18 inch 
one which has 1/3 the resonant frequency.  As I said once about a 
year ago - if they bring out a fast SIDAC brick this may change coiling.

This is a Sidac Spark Substitute Solid State Tesla Coil (SSSSSTC).

What do you mean by X and Y?
