Dear Mike,
I believe the 16 V is rms value. If you attach a capacitor
across the bridge rectifier under no load condition(output terminals are
open), the capacitor gets charged not to 16 V rms but to the maximum value
ie Vm=16*2^0.5 which is about 22 V.This could be the problem.
Yours sincerely,
    Nitin

I have a transformer, when powered by 110 vac I get 16 vac out. I put it through a bridge rectifier and the problem is when I put a cap say 20v 1000uf across the + - of the rectifier, the voltage jumps to about 20 vdc. If I omit the cap and attach (...)
