Default SS Rectifier conversion volts drop

Measure the supply voltages and compare with the schematic. If they
are all too high, add in a dropping resistor.


Putting a series resistor would degrade the power supply regulation performance. This may or may not be important, depending on application.

The safest way to proceed would to put a (properly polarized) zener diode (or a series of several zener diodes, up to getting the required voltage and dissipation power) in series with the circuit, so that voltage drop gets (nearly) constant, independently of load variations.
